:uhoh: :bow: These are the most beautiful knives I have ever seen. The price reflects it. Does anyone out there in FAL land own one of these and if so what is your take on it. I am especially drawn to the TTKK, everyone needs a tactical kitchen knife.

Knice stuff Trace has... He has a great eye for his trade. I saw a bunch at the bladeshow in atlanta a couple years back. The TTK is a knice one...

Can't go wrong with one of Trace's knives.

Trace Rinaldi is a nice guy and makes super knives. He'll even help up and coming knife makers and explain some of the stuff they need to do to perfect their grinds and such.

While I've never met him I have had the opportunity to read his posts on another forum and seen him chat with others. I also have friends who have met him and been invited to his shop.

He does do awesome work and his knives reflect that.

Holy crap!
As much as I liked some of the knives at his site, I could never rationalize the costs of actually "using" something that pricey.
Beautiful knives, though.

His "Damascus" blade is a beauty! And yes, I'd carry and use it - all guns are shooters; All knives are cutters!

cadillac, that is so true. I do not own a knife, no matter what it cost that I would not use.

After all that is what they are for is to be used. I just don't see why they can't be beautiful at the same time.

And that is one of his beautiful ones.
