My praise of Gary starts with his sterling character. He’s one of the most honest people I know, as well as the most likable. He’s kind of like an Eagle Scout. The next reason to praise him is that not only do you get a knife or a gadget, but he is knowledgeable about the item he is selling. Through his knowledge, pickiness, and professional skill set, he will make the knife better, sharper, and smoother then when it came from the factory. Not to mention his custom slip cases and beads. I know this, because I have started a small collection(lol) of his knives. He also has fixed and sharpened some older cherished knives that needed rescuing. Finally, you always get a custom package that is easy to open.
