A complaint about Tallpine’s blades

Our forum member here, Tallpine, (Dan, once you meet him) makes and sells a lot of blades here on this forum. Hawks too.

@tallpine

I have five of his blades, and one hawk. Pictured below is the patch knife he made when a friend contacted him to buy me a present.

Looks like a nice knife. Very well made. The problem is the blade. That little patch knife, since I got it last fall, has cleaned two deer (except for a few strokes with a hawk) and stabbed a small pig to death. It also did a couple of other minor knife jobs. All good so far, right?

Well a couple days ago I bought a leather motorcycle vest for $20 because it had this ugly patch sewn on the back, no problem I’ll just cut the threads off with a seam ripper. But I couldn’t find one…so in desperation I pulled this patch knife.

I was literally done in five minutes. When I was done my son walked up to me with his knife (not a Tallpine product) and an Arkansas stone and asked me to show him how to sharpen a blade…it had been so long since I had done that…I had forgotten how!

Damn it, Dan! You are responsible for this! And you made me look like a dunce in front of my boy! Unforgivable!!

Somewhere is a gang of 14 year olds who ride mopeds that are gonna be really mad you disrespected their colors like this.

Quite the review!

Now that’s one great looking knife and a heck of an endorsement

Have one of his knives it will make a trip west this October, great knives, workmanship and a pleasant fellow to deal with.

Ha Ha, sorry about that Kevin, I know that little bugger was scary sharp, it drew blood before it even left my shop, Mine

Stabbed a small pig to death? That sounds like a story in itself.

I love shaggy dog stories with happy endings. I was prepared for some serious complaining before the turn.

That’s a really nice looking knife!!

Y’all leave Dan alone. He is working on a Top Secret, Oppenheimer, Philadelphia Experiment, kind of project for me right now.

All you (other) poors will bow before my magnificence when it is done!

No pics so I can’t defend my veracity, but let’s just say my aim was a bit off with LaReyna my .62 caliber Hawken gun, and leave it at that.

Buy a knife from this man. You will not be disappointed.

I love this! I acquiesce.

Words have power and you broke out some big ones.

I have 4 of Dan's knives plus a mouse hawk he fashioned. And I have given 2 of his smaller knives to lady friends for their purses. He researches diligently and does beautiful work. I asked him to make a replica of the Shanghai police department daggers of the 1930's and it is one of my favorite things.

Well, all of Brazoland's complaining about Tallpine's knives made me feel left out of the conversation. So I ordered one up so Brazo didn't have to "suffer" alone. I hope to be suffering with him shortly. What are friends for anyway?
