James "Slim" Hand
I can not say enough good things about this man!
A true cowboy and a hell of a good pal .
When James found a piece of steel that a family member started
trying to make a knife out of it years ago. I was humbled and a lump
came up in my throat when he ask if I could make something of it. You know there are times in your life when your working
on something and it just feels right like it's meant to be ! This knife came together so effortlessly and was a real joy to make.
A knife makers nightmare is when someone hands you a piece of steel and says make me a knife. #1 problem what kind of steel is it?
Not knowing what kind of steel it is , its kinda like building a house with out any kind of plans. There are a lot of different kinds of steel and everyone of them has there own heat treatment. Like I said earlier somethings are just meant to be I guess. The heat treatment hit its mark this is one performance cutting blade. it will chop 2x4's all day and still take hair off your arm..
This knife is a perfect match for it's owner it just don't get anymore Cowboy than that !
