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

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
