wrz0170 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 Got a very pleasant surprise yesterday. Took delivery of this beauty. A Terry Knipschield round knife. Texas Rosebud to be exact and this thing is scary sharp. The surprise was my wait was about 3 weeks when I put my name on the waiting list. I was settling in for the long haul of sometime next year! It’s a little pricey, but this is definite quality in the steel and edge. I think it will be worth every penny. Oh,the handle looks nice too William Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted October 16, 2018 I have one of knipper's round knives. I use it mostly to "skive". Terry also made two special knife blades for me. Above "TOP OF THE LINE." FERG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took me by surprise when I got Terry’s email that he finished the knife. He seemed a little reluctant at first to add another name because he said he was several hundred knives in the hole. As long as I understood that there would be a wait Which would was fine with. This is better though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted October 17, 2018 He may have had someone drop off the list. I'm sure that it happens. Knife is ready and the person doesn't have the funds ready. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted October 17, 2018 I have never put a stone to either of Terry's knives. I strop every time I pick them up and also several times while using. There simply could not be a better knife available. Ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I may ask, which knife did you order? For me, im thinking what Bikermutt said, someone backed out for my particular knife and I was probably next in line just for that knife.

Gary I would check in with him, if you haven't been already. Any order I have placed, I always emailed him about every 40-45 days. I wasn't pushy, just checking in, know you're busy, etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted October 19, 2018 I ordered a Pull Cut knife #1. Guess I should check in with Terry. Not as long a wait as the two Randall #14 knives I ordered from Randall Knives in Orlando in June & September 2014 - I just received notice that the first one is scheduled for completion in November! The wait is now up to 6 years for a new order. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted November 18, 2018 I finally received my Knipschield Pull knife on Friday! It is a beautiful knife and out of the box it slices through 10 oz skirting leather like butter! I waited almost a year for it and I just asked Terry to put me on the list for a skiving knife and French knife. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry Quality is normally not cheap, my philosophy is that if I am buying something for use one or two times, buy mid-range price. Buying a tool that you plan to use steadily for years - buy the best you can afford.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard back from Terry and he says he put me on the order list, but it will take “a while” before he gets to my order. That’s ok, it will give me something to look forward to in a year. Hope you get your knives soon! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
