Recently purchased my 4th Bladetricks custom knife. Awesome craftsmanship, perfect ergonomics and the toughest, sharpest blades. Worth every penny and wait of these one by one handcrafted cutting tools.
I paid a deposit and initial timeframe was provided. Thereafter the delivery kept on being pushed out weeks at a time. Thus going into 3rd month I requested a refund. In summary I have my serious doubts the business is able to produce and deliver at all. I recon it's a 'one man band' type of business. It's a shame.
Bladetricks guys made the knife I had in mind for years. Serious, professional advising and impressing craftmanship. Delivered before time (2/6 months for custom orders). I repeated and will again
Answer: Designs, cratfmanship, materials, attention to details
Answer: They make all their knives by hand, one by one. Less expensive? Arguable. Better? Not for me, try!
