Well, not knowing if this was an actual knife 'handmade' by Mr. Prater himself, or a kit knife that he customized from parts bought out of any number of knife supply houses makes all the difference.
That's a fair price for a notable custom maker, but a bit steep for a kit. It's your call. Photos? Coop |

Are they digital? If so, save the photos on your hard drive, or send me a link to where they are posted. If you have them in prints, then you would need to scan them. You can attach a digital file to an email and also send it.

Troy sent me some photos and I will admit it's very well-made and detailed.
I know if one of our members made this it *should* go for $375.00, if that is any help. What YOU can get it for is up to your power of negotiation! Let us know, Coop |
