Things people say about my Knives.
I think what people say is important !
Brad,
I received the knife and already braided a crown sinnet lanyard on it with a skull. i use it every now and so often. It's excellent design, the blade tip
is centered instead of being off centered like most pocket knives, the steel is very hard and strong, I love the two tone finish. It has a nice feel in
my hands and is quite balanced. It is decently sharp enough because of the S30V stainless steel, I'm assuming.
Thanks,
Marc

Hey Brad. Just got the Reflection today....WOW! What a great little knife it is! I just really love all the detail you've done on it. Fits the hand
really nice, the blade opening is ultra smooth - love those type of thumb studs, frame lock is solid and has ultra quiet engagement, etc., etc.
And I really like the hand rubbed satin finish on the blade and handle....very nice touch! Tomorrow it will be the first day of carry and am
really looking forward to it. Without a doubt it is a WINNER for sure! I couldn't be more pleased.
Gary was kind enough to send me a few pics of your Proto Flipper (I will keep the pics to myself and not say a word till it is actually out on
the site). Looks fantastic! There are so many great things going on with that flipper as well. It is hard to believe that it is your first
flipper...the design is perfection! Could you tell me the blade and handle length? Also, I would love to see a pic of your Persian style blade
on you upcoming folder...if you have one.
Again, thanks for creating such a great carrier. I will think about any custom work that I
may want done on it. May be hard as it is really nice in it's current state.

Hello Brad,
I recently purchased a Model 1 series folder from Gary at M__re Cutlery. First let me tell you, congratulations in
striking off on your own. I love my knife and I think you work is going to become much in demand.
Best Regards,
Mike

Brad,
I appreciate your fast and dependable service. You are a true artist, at least in the knife making business, as your work is excellent.
Thanks,
Mark
Happy 4th of Julyy

Mr. Brad,
That reflection will be passed down to my sons. You do excellent work. You replaced my backspacer with one without a lanyard which is fine.
I don't really use them that much. If you have a retractable loop version that would be fantastic. Just let me know. I appreciate all your work
and making such a special knife for me.
Thank you for your time & patience in this matter.
Respectfully,
Joseph

Hello,
Do you have any reflection folders with carbon fiber scales available? (Quote rendered)
Brad,
The price quote was actually less than I thought it would be so thats good news :)
I saw this particular blade on the U_N forums but I'm sure it was just cross-posted from the C_&G.
I will let you know tomorrow if I can place this order immediately or if I will have to wait a few weeks -- I'm going to sell my Str__er AR to get this
masterpiece.
Thanks for such a quick and informative reply. I'll keep in touch.

Brad,
I definitely want one of the Reflections! I will get a money order out to you as soon as I get your address. Just send it to me along with the
price of shipping. I really appreciate the chance to get one of these!
Thanks,
Johnny

Brad,
Yes, I did receive it today. It looks and feels just great. You did a fantastic job on the repair. Locks up very tight but smooth. I appreciate all of your
hard work and quick response. I have been looking at your web site and was not aware that you create such a wide range of custom made knives. As
to an earlier e-mail about your artistry, I was completely understated. Your work is truly world class and comparable to only the few elite makers. It
takes patience, creativity, and God’s gift to create such beauty.
Thanks,
Mark

This first one was a total recondition on a very used Reflection !
From a soldier in Iraq.
Hey, Brad...
It's really beautiful and light as a feather. The grain of the wood is rich with a natural sheen. Glad you used restraint in not making it too glossy
and artificial. The tasteful carving/grinding treatment around the perimeter of the bridge and on the blade's spine is subtle, but exudes
elegance. Your nugget engraving is interesting and I will be looking at it under an Optivisor when I have a chance. The smooth three
dimensional pearl buttons give a really nice accent and contrast to the other colors and textures on the knife. Overall, it is exceptional work,
Brad. I can't help thinking I would like to commission a larger rendition of this design, too. Maybe you'd be willing to consider that down the line.
I'm thinking a 4"-5" blade might be highly useful and offer a larger palette for your artistic expression.
The sheath is a treat in its own way. The brown frame overlay conforms very closely to the black base layer while sandwiching the frog skin, and
the stitching is not only functional, but attractive against the Kydex.
This is a winning design, in my opinion. It is well suited for making in different size ranges, I think. The materials you use for each component of
the knife can be selected for the intended purpose of the particular order. A tactical version might not use wood for the frame, but it certainly
could be used as an overlay over various metals on the side opposite the bridge, if desired. I have faith in the architecture of the Anole. I hope it
is one of your hits and gets you the recognition you deserve. BTW, noticed you posted it up on your site. Nice!
Will be bringing the Anole to a family gathering tomorrow. Think it will impress even the non-knife folks among them with its aesthetics.
I forgot to mention how much I like the way you made the grain follow the curve of the bridge. I'm a big fan of this finish. It makes metal look more
refined and luxurious, as on an expensive watch, reducing reflectivity while capturing light in its minute peaks and valleys. Also neat is being
able to see the translucent pearl through the portholes in the ironwood.
Well, that's my first impression. What do you think?
Thanks for a great knife,
Gary

Good morning Brad,
I stayed home from work today since USPS said the package would arrive, and it just did. I opened it and almost cried. This is a thing of
beauty. Pure sculptural art and craft of the highest caliber my friend - thank you so much for the time and effort. I've held some nice things in
my life, but this is just... It's amazing.
I'll take some pictures this evening and put together a short review in the next day for USN and the gang. I'm blown away.

Brad -
I have a few pieces by guys like Lerch, Morris, Lamprey, Crawford, Fellhoelter, R.B. Johnson, Harkins, Sawby, Irie, J.W. Smith (you get the
idea) that were made specifically for me and as I am not in a financial position to collect much anymore I really want to add yours to my
collection while I have the opportunity. I take care with my knives but I love the ones that are the real deal, REAL solid knives. I will pick two,
or three even, and drag them around with me daily for weeks at a time. Gotta have a Gauntlet that's been made for me. There are a couple
more on your web site that I want to own before too long, we'll see what the economy brings. Your stuff is as innovative as anything I have
ever seen. You are in the best of company and way out ahead of most. I am sure you know that. No idea how I did not come across you long
before I did. I am awed by how you have combined Solid+EDC+Unique+Ingenuity+The Look, the ingenuity a wild. Certainly not just another
good knife maker. Next time I go over to Matt Lerch's shop I want to be able to take your knife with me.
Sorry to ramble, but sign me excited, Rich
