I received my bmk-167 today and it is above and beyond what I expected. Beautiful pattern in the blade, nice sturdy gut hook and great craftsmanship in the handle. Jack was more than helpful on the service end of the deal, I will highly recommend these knives to family and friends and will be a future buyer.

Mark responded after hours during dinner to address an emergency order. Even when I accidentally ordered the incorrect item he was attentive enough to monitor and inform of my mistake. I ordered the correct item finally and the entire experience has been something that is very difficult to find…costumer service. Thanks Mark.
