Steve Tormala's Knives

Share your thoughts on Steve's Knives. I personally am a knife junkie after buying my first one from Steve. Superior workmanship..

Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

I own one. I have given another as a gift and a third is in the works as a gift. Both of these knives were real nice. However that does not fall in line with the poll.

Will be getting one soon, I got to send him what I'm thinking of, but will be a smaller caping and skinning knife, I have seen his work on Robodad's knife, very freaking nice.  Got me motivated to size one out....    Problem is they are so nice, I'd be afraid to lose it... so reason for lanyards for people like me...

The latest order... as a gift.

I am sure these make great gifts. I just order a knife I would like and am sure that they are well received.

Do not own one, but will in the future.  I think his work is outstanding.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I have two so far.  Plan to add to the collection or give as gifts in the future.  Top notch work.  Wonderful to deal with.

Want to own one  15 (25.9%)
Plan to own one  12 (20.7%)
Rainshadow Knives?  9 (15.5%)


To the 36 guys above...

Howdy to 9 of you!

To the other 27 guys, there's many ways to get me working for you!

Check my "Available Blades" thread in the Sponsors forum;

Check the link to my knife page in my signature;

Or, if you're ready to go for one and you don't see anything you like in either of those places, by all means, please contact me!

The whole idea of "Custom Knives" is that you can contact me with nothing but an idea, and we can make it happen. I love creative freedom, but I'm also happy to make your blueprint into something sharp and shiny!

Thanks guys!

I've bought 4 knives from Steve, all excellent blades and workmanship.  I've given 2 as gifts and kept 2 for myself.  I will own more, and probably buy more as gifts.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
