HHH Knives
Senior Member
About a week ago I received a email from a gentleman named Ron. He inquired about having a custom filet knife made. I responded to his email. Which I answered his questions, made a few suggestions and generally showed interest in working with him on this project. We shared a few more emails, and it became apparent that he wanted to come to my shop for a "visit" to finalize the order. This was a first for me.. But I happily agreed. He lives about 3 hrs drive from my place. After a quick phone call we had made a plan.
This morning around 8:30 AM There was a knock at the door. Upon opening the door, I was greeted by 2 smiling faces. Ron and his lovely wife. After a quick intro they were welcomed inside and we sat and talked for at least a hour. What a great way to spend the morning. I really enjoyed chatting with this nice couple. Another hour or so in the shop talking and looking through materials and more talking.. lol And I think we have a plan!
After everything was said and done I will be making a custom Filet knife for Ron. With a high carbon steel blade and a handle of killer figured walnut burl.
It sure was cool meeting them and Im sure that the knife will be everything he wants and hopes for. In a world of avatars cell phones, and user ID's and internet forums.. It sure was great to put a face to a name and a good hardy hand shake to a deal.
I love my job!
