As many of you know, I've made dozens of knives so I'm a bit picky. I contacted Mark Adams, Mark is his middle name and he goes by ShaneA on here. I wanted the perfect squirrel and other small game knife and I really liked the look of his Ute knives, but I wanted something even smaller than his Lil Ute. He was very patient with me and he made drawings for me while we designed what I wanted. When he was done, it looked so nice I ended up getting two of them. With the knives he supplied a use and care guide which I thought was really professional. His pricing was very reasonable for a custom made knife and they were done in about 5 weeks. The sheaths are made by him and fit perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased and thank you again Mark. His website is www.crawdaddyforge.net

I second the praise for ShaneA. I love the one I got from him and with a sample size of only one, it performed flawlessly on dressing out the only deer I killed since I received mine. Looking forward to deconstructing a hog with mine just to see how it feels and performs.

Mark is a great knife maker. He has made me multiple knives and I used them all the time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good quality knife.
