I've had many knives modded by Josh now, from basic sharpening, to a mirror edge, and even a full cerakote job. He is a complete professional, always courteous and quick to respond to emails, and his work is second to none in my opinion. Don't hesitate to do business with him as you'll only receive top notch service and work!
 
Just as an fyi to everyone I have had some price changes as detailed on my website. This will not affect any current orders or quoted orders, only future ones. Let me know if you have any questions!

Sorry it took me so long to post this up, but figured I would let others know of the great work Josh did for me.

Recently I saw some work that Josh had done on a Yojimbo 2. I had been wanting some similar changes made to mine so I contacted him about it and a bench made SOCP I got that had unimpressive edges. I sent them off and Josh continued to keep me in the loop with updates. Needless to say the final product was awesome. Contoured scales, jimping, etc. Feels way better in the hand, spydie hole much easier to access, and jimping is money! That along with the Ti deep pocket clip from Casey (theoriginalspaceman) and the Yo is my go to EDC. Here are a couple of pics of both knives. Sorry they aren’t big pimpin’ pics, but I think they will get the point across. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and plan on sending him more work in the future. Thanks Josh!

Awesome work, Josh! That K2 is what it should have been like from the factory. I'm sure the ergos are awesome now. :thumbup:
 
I can't wait to put my K2 back together, that looks amazing!

You're gonna love it! Nah sorry didn't snap any... don't normally take pics of basic sharpening jobs as they are so common for me! lol.
 
Just got my XM-18 back from Josh yesterday. What a job he did! The blade is much sharper than I figured possible without a re-grind since Hinderers are very thick at the edge. I'm very impressed.

He also cerakoted the lockside, liner, standoffs and pocket clip. Everything turned out fantastic and I couldn't be happier with the coating.

What really sets Josh apart is his customer service and communication. I didn't make this process easy on him having changed my mind multiple times. He was very accommodating and always responded in a timely manner, even on a Sunday! He also had my knife back to me before his quoted turn around time.

My pictures don't do his work justice. The blade only pic is his, the other two are mine

Just got my Waved Delica back from Josh. I had him reprofile it to 25 inclusive and then microbevel at 40 inclusive. Looks awesome and he fixed my botched reprofiling job.

Josh: Would I be able to touch it up on the Sharpmaker?

Yep! That's the beauty of a microbevel! Just use your 40 inclusive setting on the sm and about 5-10 passes per side (alternating, and whisper light) and you will have a razor sharp edge really quick. You can maintain like this for a long time.
 
Just finished up a few Ti pens in different colors of Cerakote and then put a high gloss coat over top.
