Thanks. He is a really nice man just doing what he can to help folks. I really am pleased with his product and service. Ya just have to understand upfront that it's gonna take a minute.

I remember way back when I worked in the food industry......

They told me "a customer will wait an hour for you to help them, as long as you acknowledge them and tell them you will be with them as quickly as you can".

I have lived both sides of that story. I am always ready to wait for that person who acknowledges me. And I am always upset when they don't.

Terry has been great.

Congrats on some great looking tools!  I think that good tools don't just make work easier they also help to inspire quality work.

My collection is now complete (as far as I'm concerned for now). I started with the French style head knife over a year ago. Then a forum member sold me the long knife. Now I finally have the curved detail knife.

Man what a cutter. Terry Knipschield, if you didn't know, is a custom knife maker. One of the few that build custom leather knives, period. There just aren't many out there. Terry makes a super sharp quality knife. He does a terrific job on every one I have seen, which are these three.

It took about 3 months to get my first knife. It took 6 months to get the curved detail knife. And let me tell you right now, the are worth every minute of the wait. Every minute.

Mr. Knipschield is a man who has been making knives for over thirty years. But, he is a one man show. He won't sacrifice quality for quantity. He just won't. And that's why I don't mind waiting for his work.

I am a hobbyist and can afford the wait, and his prices are overly reasonable to me.

Each order I have placed I politely let him know that I was willing to wait and I promised not to pester him. Things happen in small business that consumers just never consider. One man businesses get sick, have to have a day off at least once a month, and sometimes they just need a minute to get back to their bearings. Having been in business before I can totally relate to this scenario.

I am very proud to have been blessed with some of Terry's work. 

Just wanted to share. Thanks.

Well, after reading your glowing review I had to contact a Terry to place an order!  Waiting for him to reply - I see he has some knives available now, so maybe I won’t have to wait!

Just heard back from Terry - looks like a 6 month wait for anything, but my name is on the waiting list!

I ordered the Pull-Cut knife Model #1.  I have a round knife so thought I would try something different.

That is an interesting knife. I've gotten to where I love the push cut. The detail knife is for those super tight radii, like on the edges of this wallet.
