Hello Sir, I received the knife today, wow! nice work… I let my son open the box and he thought it was just great. I have e-mailed my brother in Oregon the before and after pictures. I know he will think the same as I do “Outstanding Work” and fine craftsmanship. Mr. Maines, I think … Read more Jack
Wooooooohhoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! What a knife that is! It has not left my sight since yesterday! When I got it, I went over to the construction dept. at my work and I tell you they would not let me leave. In fact one of the guys grabbed the brochure from me and that was the last I … Read more Jason
Dear Jay, Gary here. The sheath that you made for the model #19 arrived today and is great. I think that it will last as long as the knife (also a beautiful piece of work). I want to thank you for such timely and nice work on it. I really enjoy the sheaths that you … Read more Gary
Jay, Just a quick note as I have a very busy day. The steak knife is awesome, works like a dream. It takes an edge wonderfully and fits my hand perfectly. I’ve had many compliments on it and even had a waiter try to make off with it, claiming that it belonged to the restaurant. … Read more Tom
WOW! That’s my first impression after opening the box today, Jay! People have described me as being hard to please, but your work on my knife goes above and beyond my expectations. Functional art would be an apt description. You have certainly undersold yourself on this one. Very impressed in Texas, Brian Fondren

It’s hard to stop looking at it. It feels great in my hand. With my index finger under the German silver … Read more Phil
Jay, Received the knife from the postman. It is beautiful and indeed a piece of artwork. Your skills are impressive. Thanks so much. Really enjoyed the project — especially the results! Sincerely, S. Macpherson
Received a beautiful Bowie…….. But I’m afraid that you’ve sent me someone else’s knife!!!! The knife you sent me has the most beautiful set of handles and the sheath is not the old misfitting piece of lifeless leather that I sent you. This knife is a one of a kind, a work of art!! It … Read more J.T.
Jay, My chef’s knife arrived yesterday. It is beautiful; a work of art, actually. Thank you so much for the gorgeous restoration. I hate to use it, but I will and I promise to take good care of it. Thanks again, and special thanks for repairing the blade. Holly Greene
