Surprisingly Affordable Quality
Surprisingly nice blades for the money, these knives  make an excellent first project that should yield  encouraging results and give you the confidence to try more complex projects.  Experienced knifemakers can really dress these up for the perfect gift  ( although you'll probably want to keep the first few for yourself). All carry a satin finish. The Asp is a perfect lightweight backpack or hiking blade while the Colt  and Mustang make terrific camp knives. The Stallion and Mule are both hardworking blades that would make great hunting skinners.
