Anybody have one or heard of these guys? They are made here in Michigan:

Go to "knives" and click on the large photos.
I spoke to the owner for about an hour today. I was very impressed in every way.
I have a "backpacker" in S30V/kydex sheath on the way. It seems to me this knife is a heck of a deal, if you look at what other similar knives sell for, with less expensive steel and less expensive sheaths. I took one look at this knife and knew I wanted one, based on the pattern alone. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were made right here, and in S30V. It is same knife as the Caper, I just want to put my own scales on it.
Now, here is the kicker: I found out who does the heat treat on these knives, and was even MORE pleasantly surprised. Another Michigan company, and a guy who is/was legendary in these parts for his heat treats. I can say with no uncertainty, that the heat treat will be as good as it gets. Period.
More to come...........
