The feel and performance of his knives is spectacular. One of my most favorite smiths.

Little known fact… Travis is a chef. (Part time smith)

His wrought looks really nice, like a polishers dream. I always asked my self, how well do they actually polish up? I guess they don't come stone ready right?
