To all owners of Simonich knives, old and new:
Recently a rumor about my knives has been floating around and I want to take this opportunity to set the record straight. A potato farmer named Tater Vanderspud from near Three Forks, MT allegedly left his Latigo model knife on top of a 100 lb sack of spuds while cutting a piece of rope when tarping the load.

"I had to deliver 1000 lbs of spuds down to Betty's Steakhouse, my knife forgotten on the top sack, I headed to Three Forks. Well ya know the road is terrible this time of year, Dang! Why I couldn't go faster than 10 mph in 2nd gear, there is so many potholes! Anyway, when I got to town and untarped the load, all I had was french fries!!"

This rumor is totally untrue!!! Upon interrogating Tater, he sheepishly admitted that the road was only washboard and the potatoes were only cut into JoJo's.

Ok,Ok...enough BS. What I'm saying in a roundabout way is that you won't hear me bragging much about my knives, my customers do it for me. I use what I feel are the best raw materials I can find. For blade steel, my favorites are D-2, ATS-34 and CPM-440V. I carefully heat treat, freeze, triple temper and hardness test during the blade making process. If a blade doesn't meet these specs, into the garbage it goes.

When you first get a new knife from me, it will be extremely sharp. Don't be disappointed if it dulls quickly, as it is actually too sharp. Resharpening one or two times will get rid of the "wire edge", and then the blade will really start to perform. I use diamond stones of medium and fine grit, and I recommend you do too. I like how the edge then bites into what I'm cutting.

I guarantee my knives in materials and workmanship..as long as you don't abuse them!! It looks impressive, but we all know a fine blade used as a chisel becomes a lousy chisel. Knives are for cutting, not prying or turning screws. Whether you need a combat style knife, special kitchen knife or fine cutting tool, I can fill your needs. If you ever have any problems with your Simonich Custom knife...please contact me and it will be made right. And I would appreciate hearing about any more wild rumors floating around. Sincerely,
