Title: Steve Tormala's Knives
Post by: KillBilly on April 14, 2009, 06:34:21 PM
Share your thoughts on Steve's Knives. I personally am a knife junkie after buying my first one from Steve. Superior workmanship..

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.

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!

Hey Steve, that is some fine work on that build you did for me  :IBCOOL:  Have you given any more thought to that bass-ackward wharncliff idea of mine?  :rockin:

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.
