that special care again...I will not mail them away, as I cannot live
without them!..."

D.G.

"...Absolutely magnificent to the tenth power! Perhaps I shall have to deal with you further."
W.T.

"I've been on the road the past few days and [the chopper] was safe and sound when I returned. It is absolutely superb...a thing of beauty...I'm ecstatic!!!!!!!

...I am proud of 'our' projects and look forward to more in the future!...there is no one 'out there' that can even come close to the wonderful work that you do...you are the Master!!!!"

Dudley Dawkins
Topeka, Kansas

"I wanted to write and tell you how much I have enjoyed using the knives which I own. It was like living in the Middle Ages before I acquired my first Boye knife. Slowly, gingerly, I started using my first knife, and I was an immediate convert. The most important quality is the balance when cutting with them.

Chopping vegetables is a joy. But I use them also for cutting meats and even cutting fish into steaks. Another bonus are the beautiful etchings. I feel like royalty when I use them."


Victoria Morgan
Santa Cruz, California

" Thank you for the beautiful knives!

The light mid-lock folder of Carbide Crystal and Micarta, crowned by a striking etching of a "Pelican" in its native habitat absolutely astonishes all who see it.

The fixed blade I received with the "Devil's Postpile" mountain scene is beautiful! Between the Dendritic Steel, the rare Rag Micarta handle. great sheath and your exquisite embellishment, this is one beautiful package!

I am amazed by the detail in your etchings.

I have to order a kitchen knife with your "Humpback" whale on it!"


Bill Foote,
Garland, Texas

"The knives have arrived safely already.  They are, as usual, functional and beautifully made tools which will be a joy to use."

Andre Passberger,
County Waterford, Ireland

"As always, your package is full of surprises!  Full specs on the knife (materials, dimensions) and details on use and care.  Even a polishing cloth.

This cobalt hunter is a beautiful piece.  Until it's in the hand you can't begin to appreciate the care and workmanship involved.  Each knife of yours is a real work of art and "grows on you" the more you study it."

Wes Hetrick
Fairfax, VA

"A couple of days ago, I was chopping veggies, and the balance of the knife allowed me to develop some rhythms to push me into a wonderful Zen state.  A gift that keeps on giving, so nice."

GB,
Alaska

"I have several of your knives and I love them and care for them tenderly. 

How can I get them sharpened?  I will not mail them away, as I cannot live without them.  I will however bring them anywhere they can get properly serviced. 

Thanks, and know that I use these everyday and appreciate every slice."

Diane Garfield
San Francisco, CA
