joe delaronde forge knives

[Monarch]

Does anyone know about joe delaronde forge knives? A close friend recommended this forge for a knife I am looking to have made. Just wondering how good they are and how to find them.

JOe has a rep for quality work, but I don't know how to contact him. However, a search on the web should turn up something.

Wick, on this forum, can make you anything you want, as can Dennis Miles.

God bless

Joe was set up at Kalamazoo Living History this last weekend.

I had seen a knife on his table on Saturday and I liked it but I told myself that I didn't need it. That night when I closed my eyes to go to sleep I couldn't get the image of the knife out of my head. First thing on Sunday morning I bought this beautiful knife off his table. It's 14 1/2" OA 10" blade, Antiqued bone on the handle. All one piece, blade, bolster, handle, and butt cap from one piece of steel.

I slept like a baby last night.

My husband just purchased a longhunter knife from Joe and gave it to me as he wants a shorter blade in a knife. I took it and told him he isn't getting it back lol. It has a 11" blade but is good for me to carry in fur trade and Long hunter era and I can use it for cutting up the thanksgiving turkey and other food. I have 2 knives from North River custom knives also and they are good working knives.
