    Kevin I really enjoy the community you have built here with your hard work. The handle transformation on the fishing knife was a sight to behold. I am always happy to share info about strong Oregon companies that provide living wage jobs to people. C.R.K.T aka Columbia River Knife & Tool is one of them in the cutlery business. They were founded in 1994 and are fortunate to have a talented group of designers that are pretty well known in the industry.
