You like zero-ground blades? Sean Kendrick makes some, I handled a couple about a month ago, smaller fixed blades with micarta scales and mosaic pins. They were pretty sweet. Those are the only ones I know about.

He does make some pretty nice knives, and was one of the few makers out there that did some Zero-ground blades. I ended up selling this one, to fund something else. Resale value is somewhat important to me because I like to keep my collection at a certain size, and just change up the knives once in a while.

You didn’t get a worthless knife corwin99. I’ve lusted for a couple of Corkum’s knives myself, but didn’t do any business with him for fear of losing my money. I’d buy one of his knives from a 3rd party though, who has his knives on hand, to sell me.

As far as resale value, I don’t buy knives to resell, so for someone like me his rep doesn’t matter, but if he’d just done an honest business he’d have made a ton more money then by stealing, because the man’s got a flair for blades.

Sorry to hear you were ripped off by Steve Corkum, but how do you figure is a “Shame” that I am reviewing a knife that I received in a trade? I am not promoting Steve and I’m not supporting him.

It really sucks that you were taken by him, but I don’t know you any more than I know him. I got the knife in a trade, and now I’m giving my thoughts on it. Thanks for letting me know that I got a worthless knife in trade however, its good to know. I won’t try trading this one off and risk getting flamed

Its a shame you have to “promote” a liar and a thief like corkum when there are so many other legitimate knifemakers out there. It has been proven over and over again that he steals peoples money, and NEVER delivers on any knives.

As mentioned on other “blade forums” there is a buying freeze on his junk… which by the way has absolutely no resale value on the secondary market due to his reputation.

Please promote other, more deserving knifemakers products.
