Steve Johnson is a true gentlman, a thank you to him
In short, my dad grew up with Steve in Manti, apparently Steve wasn't to picky about his friends
![]() I have hoped to find a way to make it known what this meant to me, and would have meant to my dad when tonight I stumbled across this site. Like I said, my knives(other than this one) are tools for gutting and skining, but I joined this site just to publically thank Steve and to let his colleagues and fans know that he is a stand up quality guy!! Thanks Steve!!! Nick Jorgensen |

That's a really touching story, thank you very much for sharing it with us.
I am from Argentina and a great fan of Mr. Johnsons knives. It is not easy to get his knives here, but I managed to buy 3 of them in the US and get them here. I exchanged 2 o 3 emails with Mr. Johnson inquiring about one of these pieces and he was really very, very kind. He replied in no time and included all the information he could tell. I am very gratefull for that. As you said, he is a true Gentleman. Could you post some pics of your knife? I'd really love to see that one! Regards, Santiago |

Both of you gentlemen re too kind! Thank you very much, Jeff. Gordon was a true friend and it was a privilege to tune up that old hunter that was finished along about 1966. One of the hardest working and fun-loving guys I ever met!
Santiago, I hope you enjoy the knives and that we can meet someday. __________________ ![]() http://www.srjknives.com NRA Endowment Member Knifemakers' Guild Member since 1971 "May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift |

Great story and wonderful end to the story!
![]() __________________ C Craft Customs With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! C Craft |
