My knife from Northstar Forge was far better than I could have ever expected. Frankly, we were blown away! I was extremely pleased with the obvious attention to detail and fine finish of blade, handle, and the box! The knife itself is a true work of art- The handle is made from a local tree that had fallen nearby. The box is quite possibly worth the price we paid for the knife and is absolutely gorgeous. The knife and the box – they both have a story and have become quite the conversation piece in our home. I would recommend Jason to anybody!
