Brian is squared away. I worked with him in A-stan last year and he invests a lot of pride in making his knives. Check out his FB and web page.

Re: Former Marine making great Infidel Knives

Ok so being a Marine myself I had to check them out. I have a lot of questions. Not trying to be picky or whatever but trying to help you out with your webpage.

1) Who is "We", is it you making these? Do you have people helping you make these? If it is you making them I personally would change the "We" to "I".

2) What Steel is being used? You only state the type of Stainless used. What is the RC of each types of Metal used? People are going to want to know that.

3) Mosaics on a true Working Knife? Personally I would never buy a knife of this type for use with Mosaics. Honestly I want to see solid fasterners used. Either Rivets or Loveless/Corby bolts.

4) Your fit and finish is a little sloppy for the price range you are asking. For that same price there are some good production knives avalible.

I am not the knife maker. I posted this to help spread the word for a good friend.

Re: Former Marine making great Infidel Knives

I get the feeling this Marine is just starting out. Les George is sold out.
