Just thought I would put a good word in for a custom knifemaker by the name of Murray Carter. A very good friend of mine has several of his knives and they are top notch. Murray lived and worked in Japan for 18 years and is a 17th Generation Yoshimoto Bladesmith and Certified Master Bladesmith. Talked to him recently and sounds like a great guy as well. Here is a link to his website. regards, Dale.
