Members wrz0170 Posted October 16, 2018 Members Report 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
Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 16, 2018 Contributing Member Report 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

At his recommendation, I have some on the way to use on a horse butt strop. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 That is awesome. Glad you got it so quick. It's gonna bring you years of cutting pleasure. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

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
bikermutt07 Posted October 17, 2018 Report 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.

Contributing Member Ferg Posted October 17, 2018 Contributing Member Report 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

Gary Wow! Almost a year. 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. William Quote

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 I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later....
