FEEDBACK VIA DIRECT E-MAILS
My dad has asked me to pass on his thanks to you, he said the knife was 'absolutely superb, beautiful steel, beautiful wood, the guy is some craftsman'. I knew he would love it and......he's using it! I thought it would just be displayed in the gun cabinet but no, he commented on how sharp it was and took it out the day after his birthday.
Many thanks again Paul. I've attached a pic of me giving him the knife on his birthday and yes he remembered to give me a silver coin in return! Kind regards, Darren
Paul!

Hi Paul
Just opened the Shadow knife you sent me and..... wow just wow!
It’s amazing and completely perfect, I love the detail in the sheath and the handle fits perfectly into my hands thank you so much for doing that for me!
Would I be able to ask you for another knife?? My best friend is about to join the Royal Marine Commando’s after finishing university and I would like to send him off with something special and one of your knives would be great!
I was thinking of spending about £100, do you have any ideas?
Thank you again

Hi Paul,
Just to let you know I got my knife back yesterday which you sharpened for me, you've done an excellent job. I could see just from looking at it that it was very sharp and was even more impressed when I came to use it.
Many Thanks
Liam Brighty.

Hi Paul, -----------------------------------------------
Hi Paul the new Leuku arrived
safely, once I'd unpacked it I must admit I spent some time just
"looking" at it, then I got round to "handling" it the balance is
absolutely superb to my mind (although heavier) much better for my
hands than a traditional Leuku. I doubt very much I will want see any
more Purpleheart handle scales I think you could say I've flogged that
theme within an inch of it's life, but there's one thing you can
definitely say, there will be NO argument over which is MY
cutlery!!!!! Can't wait to try it on something I'm betting "the
definition of sharp" according to Frenchy means it'll go straight
through. Yours as ever Bill

Hello Paul
Hello Paul -------------------------------
Hello Paul, Had a really good look at the knife. Thank you very much for the Talisman knife. A great skill and gift you have making these. It's definitely the best I have ever owned. Regards, Mike ---------------------- Paul, I did receive the knives. I apologize for not letting you know sooner. We left town the day they arrived and did not have access to the internet. Then when we returned my computer died. At last everything is back to normal. Anyway, the knives are beautiful and the sheaths too. Thanks for your hard work. I think the firesteels turned out really nice, I've never had them match the knife. I have to use one of the knives soon just to get used to using it. I haven't given them to my sons yet, but I'm sure they will appreciate them. I will check your website occasionally to see what you are making. Thank you again. Regards, Andrew Crowley ------------------------------------ Hi, Just to say thank you very much. Your workmanship is wonderful. Sorry I have not replied earlier. Just to say thank you so very much, again. Hope to deal with you again. Paul -----------------------------------
Paul you beauty Thanks for making a fantastic set for me ,it looks great in antler
cheers walter ------------------------- Hello Paul, received the Talisman on Saturday morning and it is superb. The cocobolo scales are magnificent and you have done a great job on the sheath. A stunning knife, thank you so much. Kind regards Brian ------------------------- Hey Paul! Please ignore the earlier message - my neighbour has just delivered the knife to me and it is fantastic !! words cannot describe how happy i am with it and it proves what a craftsman you really are!! Once again many thanks - Mark. --------------------------- Dear Paul, Thank you very much. Your beautiful knife arrived today safe and sound. It is a thing of beauty, well worth waiting for. It is so much more substantial than I expected and the Damascus patterning is beautiful. I cannot thank you enough for the repeated effort you have put into the creation of my knife. It will be a treasured and well used piece of the knife makers art. I could not be more pleased. Christian ------------------------------ Hi Paul
About an hour ago I got one the nicest surprises I've ever had - brought by the postman!
I see what you mean not about the original sheath being usable by either hand - but I am so blown away by the knife and British sheath that I haven't thought much about it.
I took a bit of a flyer on the knife because you obviously cannot be sure it will feel right until you hold it. I have small hands and whilst it does not sit well in my right hand it really could have been tailor made for my left.
To quote you "it is arguably the best knife you could possibly own". I'm not arguing - I'm delighted. Thank you for ending a 40 year quest for a knife I am 100% happy with. It is already on my belt and will stay there.
It would be wrong not to use such a fine tool for the purpose for which it was made - so use it I will -probably every day.
Thanks again Best regards John ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi Paul. I received this knife this morning. It is everything you said it would be and then some, and I have to say at a very reasonable cost. It simply oozes quality and you are clearly a master craftsman, thank you so much. ------------------------------ Hi Paul I collected the knife from the post office this morning and what a fantastic piece of equipment it is. It is a privilege to own a such a piece of workmanship and I cant wait for my next trip to put it to work. Thanks so much for all the effort and skill put in to making it. Would love your advise on maintaining it correctly if poss. and look forward to dealing with you again soon as I would love a thumb stick. Best wishes and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Again. Ron ------------------------------ Hello Paul, Great knife and the handle is such a perfect fit. Beautiful again, Thank you very much. Take Care Mike ------------------------------ Paul, got the knife back today and I am very happy! The new sheath looks amazing and the blade has cleaned up nicely! I'll try to take better care of it this time! Cheers, Andy S. ------------------------------- Hi Paul,
just to let you know the finished knife arrived in the post this morning. It look s really great, good looks and really solid construction. I really like the sheath as well and matching firestick. All in all a great combination and really worth waiting for. I'm really please with the result.
I'm glad I made the choice of horn for the handle , it's got a great feel to it, and the red really sets the whole off nicely. I'm sure I 'm going to get a number of people asking where I got it and I will of course be giving them your name
I'm looking forward to trying it out at the weekend. Thank you very much for all your contact over the last few months. I really appreciate your hard work.
Regards
David
p.s. this email has taken a while to write as I keep having to stop typing to pick the knife up and look at it! ------------------------------- Paul, what can i say, im absolutely made up, two beautiful knives that will get years of use, im really taken with both knives and i know that the antler one will go down well with my daughter, its been an absolute pleasure in dealing with you and for that alone you are to be commended, i would have no hesitation in recommending you to family or friends, i may be in touch in the future for a larger knife, take care , and have a good time over the festive period, Andy c. ------------------------------- Dear Paul The knives arrive today just as you promised. I am very impressed with the quality of the workmanship. I could not have wanted better handles for the blades, and the sheaths are a very good match for each style. One knife (the small Bowie) has already found a home as an early Christmas present for my wife, who is a keen hunter. One question - is the thong on the sheath for decoration, to attach the knife to the sheath, to attach the sheath to your leg or for some other purpose? I know that you are going into hospital soon, so please accept my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I will keep an eye open for further blades and I am sure we will find new projects to work on in the New Year. Regards David ------------------------------- Dear Paul Yes, the knives were waiting for me when I got back to the office this morning - very nice pieces, as usual. Regards David ------------------------------- Hi Paul, just to let you know that my knife has arrived safely, well what can I say! I knew it would be special but Paul it is a work of art, I am so pleased with it that I dont know where to start to tell you what I'm feeling. It fits my hand perfectly as though it were an extension of my arm, you've probably heard it before but you are a Genius Paul. I'm so glad that I sold the knives that I was selling to you and did'nt accept the higher offers, and the reason I did that was because you were the only one who offered me their condolences, and that meant a great deal to me. I'm glad that I went for the Bearing steel, it's unbelievable and the sheath and firesteel I just cant believe how lucky I am to own such a creation, you should feel really proud Paul I know I would if I had created it. Theres only one problem Paul ! what ever I make in the future is going to be overshadowed by this knife, you certainly have raised the bar when it comes to quality. Well Paul I'll sign off now but before I do I'd just like to say thankyou so much you've made me a very happy man, take good care of yourself, your good friend Paul --------------------------------------- Hi Paul, The knife arrived safe & sound yesterday, thank you. It is beautiful! It is also a very good weight and has good balance. Both the steel and the timber are stunning and yet the knife also feels very usable. My dad will love it. I am really grateful to you for making me such a beautiful object, you must be very proud. When I want my own knife I'll let you have my details. I'm left handed but other than that it's very tempting to want the same knife as my dad's. We'll talk about it soon. I'll also be in touch after March 17th to without doubt pass on my dad's appreciation to you.
Kind regards,
Darren ----------------------------------------------------------
Hi Paul, Just wanted to say a massive thanks!. The sheaths are both fantastic and given that I didn't really have a specific brief for you, you've done an absolutely amazing job - THANKS! I'll be back, once I've saved a few pennies, to ask you to make a custom knife for me. I've got the idea in my head already. So, thanks again, and I'll be mentioning you to my many friends in the combatives community.
Kind regards
Stuart ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiya, Hiya, recieved the combo this morning, and
posted the money too. Hopefully be with you by Monday morning. Im
very pleased with the combo, its another example of the quality of
your work.
Hi Paul,
The knife arrived today, the envelope was waiting for me on the kitchen table when I got home from work and I could not wait to open it. Before I got the bobble rap off I could feel the weight,and when I saw it I was just amazed its fantastic Iam so pleased. The colour and shape of the sheath are just right, the handle fits in my hand and feels really good, I love the pattern on the handle and the red liner looks just right. Iam so pleased with it Paul thank you very very much. Hope to correspond with you again in the future.
Thank You Again,
Richard Tuck ---------------------------------------------------------
Hi Paul
I have just this very minute returned home from a skiing holiday. The first thing I did was to open the envelope with my knife in it. The second is to send you this mail thanking you for a first class job on my old knife. Paul you really cannot imagine how much this knife means to me - it was my very first serious knife and has been around in the bottom of drawers - tool boxes etc. for the past 40 years. It really is uplifting to see it in such a good condition and in a grand sheath as well. It now has pride of place next to the old whitby original bowie. And thanks for the leather strop - I will let you know how I get on. Unforunately I don't have any more knives which would benefit from your attention. Paul - many thanks. Graham

Hi
Paul,
