By far outta every review you have done, (and I have watched them all) this knife specifically franks' Battle is my favorite. And you have done a ton of videos but it just has that special overall quality that hits every mark in my book. Well done Frank, well done Jim!

Frank's level of quality is very impressive. When I got my Battle it was so much above what I had experienced with any other knife in my collection that I started thinking about selling my cheaper models and having just a few quality knives like this. I can see that your knife has enhancements to mine and I'm sure by the time I get my next one they will be even better. Great video and camera work BTW. Wow my 2nd shoutout.

Good God I've never seen a better knife or knife I want more and I'm certain I will never see its equal for the rest of my life.

Just when I thought you couldn't top some of the knives you've featured, you bring your custom Battle to your channel. Perfect! Just got a Brous Mini-Division today! Thanks for your review on it.

Thanks for all you do for all knife guys out there.

I think it's a good contrast that, back-to-back, you post a Will Moon with all of its flaws, sent out from a maker that clearly doesn't have the same desire to send out the best possible knife he can, and this masterpiece from a maker that won't rest until it is as good as he can possibly make it. Regardless of the prices of different custom knives from different custom makers, I think we can all agree that every maker should be delivering the best possible product that they can to the customer. Maybe some day Will will get that concept, Frank's definitely got it. Thanks for always being honest in your reviews, keep em comin'.

Hi Jim - I started collecting 5 months ago and was perfectly happy with production knives. Then I discovered you and you have been tempting me with all the goodies you show. This morning I sent Frank an email for a customized Battle, hopefully I will hear back, but I know you will end up costing me a lot of $$$. Keep up the good work. I joined So.

As an object this is amazing, a piece of art really. That said, in my book that isn`t a knife. With those two recurves it will be almost impossible to sharpen for anyone but a master sharpener and while that shape is good for stabbing and slicing ordinary cutting will probably not that easy. Now, some of you will probably say, big deal, that knife was not created to do ordinary things with, and that`s exactly my point. No offense, Jim. Have fun with your knife.
