Dear Peter and Joyce,

Just received the carving set delivered by courier.  I am really very impressed, also with the certificate, etc. that came with the parcel.  It is an excellent example of craftsmanship and a gift true to the occasion and the person to receive it.  In real life it is even better looking than on your website!

Thank you once again for your very professional service and a wonderful product.

Kind regards from a very happy client!

Peter,

Knife arrived a few moments ago! WOW....all that I expected and then more...beautiful work.....Most importantly...I can tell the concave ( left side as you hold it in your right hand ) and the convex..Sharpen the concave , strop the convex...I generally sharpen on ceramic rods set to 16dg ( 32 degrees total v ) I hope this will work! I often "strop" by ""lightly"" pulling the blade up the ceramic against the back of the knife...same motion , angle and pressure, as stopping on leather..When I need professional "re" sharpening I send to 'Bladegallery.com' a great site and professional sharpening services etc.Even love the sheath , too !!! Thanks so much for the coasters...They are sitting prominently on the table ( conference table ) that my wife and I share between our desks...it is also the spot we share morning coffee.

As soon as I get a chance to use it , I will let you know my thoughts...Beautiful knife..

Thank you !

Hi Peter,
The beautiful knife arrived today! Wow! It is a very beautiful and well integrated design. The handle and blade configurations work perfectly together. The scales are equally beautiful, and look perfect with the brown leather sheath. I am extremely pleased. Thank you very much for the polishing cloth and the little treasures. I like the keyring very much. The packaging job was epic. Nothing could have happened to that knife! I have another idea for a knife, but I have to get ready to go out for the day with my wife for our anniversary. I will get back in touch with you soon.
P.S. I forgot to mention the grind, which I could not really appreciate until I cleaned off the wet finish. Very interesting. It makes for a very critical edge, which will be very easy to sharpen, if it ever gets dull. A nice thin edge like that is really useful for so many applications. Overall a very impressive knife, in combination with a great sheath, vents and all. Well done Peter!

Hi Thanks,
I have received my two biltong knives today Tuesday 9 March. Only one problem I ordered one knife for myself and the other for a friend but both are so beautiful I don't know which one to keep for myself. Thanks for excellent knives and service.

Hi Peter

Yesterday while looking for a knife for my nephews 18 birthday I came across your site. I really enjoyed what I saw and made contact with Joyce who was brilliant and very informative. Within hours I had chosen the knives ( I could not resist ordering one for me as well) and the process was going. Peter phoned me that evening to confirm my package had left and we had a chat, if felt like I have known him for years. The next morning at 11 my package arrived, it felt like it was my birthday. The two rabbit hunters are stunning, the workmanship is out of this world and I have many other custom made knives to compare against. Peter and Joyce , thank you so much for making this occasion a memorable one, and you will be hearing from me soon ( save, save I must). Take Care and Good luck. Hope to meet you both one day. Regards Theo

Hey Peter and Joyce,

My new “Mattice” was waiting for me when I got home yesterday afternoon, WOW I think it got here faster than some of my other knives for the states. LOL. What a COOL little knife and the fit and finish are just TOP notch from the scales and the liners to the mosaic pins, not to mention the awesome leather sheath, the coaster, key chain and the storage towel I couldn’t be happier with how the whole thing turned out. You know it’s not just the knife I ‘m pleased with, it’s the fact that I now have TWO people in South Africa that I consider friends. My wife Chris was commenting on how your packaging was as good as, but better than mine, probably because you had the foam cutouts. LOL

I will be posting a few pictures of MY knife sometime this coming week after all I gotta show off my name sake.

Thanks again you two and one day I hope to meet the two of you at a knife show.

Matt Slinkard.

PS I’ll be looking for the updates on your web page.

Hi Peter and Joyce,

Nice to chat to you this evening – look forward to seeing you at the knife show in Sollingen! Your knives really look great – not that I know much about it – but the web site is super – nicely organized

Love

Hi Peter,

Thanks for accommodating us all on Saturday morning on your recent stopover in Durban, most enjoyable time. Your craftsmanship is superb and of high quality. By far the best leather sheaths I have ever come across. Keep up the excellent work.

Also a I must commend your Grandson on his first knife, made under your direction, I was blown away at the level of skill and talent that came from a 11 year old on his first outing.  WOW!!   Teach that boy well, as he will do you proud.

Kind regards,
