SOLD - A Flawless Tactical Folder from John W. Smith...as good as a knife gets.
John W. Smith makes at least as fine a knife as anybody in the Tactical Knife World--functional, efficient, & effective, while being superbly Fitted and Finished. His knives are extensively collected by his fellow knife makers, and if he only had a presence on Facebook, Instagram and/or the Knife Forums, his knives would bring twice what they now sell for.
Every time I am asked what is a good value in the Tactical Knife World--John W. Smith is my suggestion. "Who?" or "John W. Smith?" is unfortunately the reply I often get.
