Customer Photo, Another Gunmaker, and Christmas Knives

Here's another customer photo. This gentleman has been using one of my Semi-Skinners for over a year and here's what he has to say about it:

"I have used other custom knife makers in the past, and truly use and enjoy putting Lee's knives to the task at hand.  I normally carry them in his leather sheaths, in a pocket on my camo backpack, instead of my belt - my preference only.  
I recently used his semi--skinner on a Texas Axis deer, skinning and deboning it there w/o touching up the edge.  Then, the other day, I used in on an IL Whitetail prior to loading it in the truck.  It still is holding an edge - a great testament to his knowledge of steel and sharpening.  Thank you, Lee...!"

JJ Perodeau Gunmaker

If you follow my blog, you have probably figured out that I am fascinated by really good gunmakers. I enjoyed watching this video about JJ Perodeau and wanted to share it.

Christmas Knives

This pair will be going into the mail in time to arrive for Christmas. The knife on the left is my Semi-Skinner and the knife on the right is a Drop Point Hunter. Both knives have handles of very nice high contrast Desert Ironwood. I bought around $200 worth of scales before I got the pair you are looking at. Because of this I have several really nice sets if someone is looking for a custom knife with ironwood scales.


My goal is to offer the absolute best working knives available to today's hunters. If you are interested in purchasing one of these knives or commissioning a custom knife of proven design and construction, used by some of the world's most experienced hunters, I can be reached at:
