My wife and I ordered the new 1911 folding knife and gave it to my best friend Dave for Christmas. He has a 1911 Colt and was over the moon when he received his present.

Wow, I had heard all about how beautiful this knife was, but until you see it in person the pictures do it no justice. I will want to order another one soon. I want to keep one set aside and the other just to use for everyday use.

I received my knife today. Now that is one beefy knife. Love the grips.

I received the knife today and let me say this is a beautiful looking knife and it fills the hand just right. This knife not only looks heavy-duty but it feels heavy-duty.

Sending some more pictures of the fixed blade now that my sheath is done.

Terry: Nice rig! Maybe I should make my leather sheath similar to yours. It makes a lot of sense.

I love the looks of the knife. Great feel in my hand and quality workmanship. The Hammerhead Lock system works. I don't see where it will ever slip.

The Folding Compact M1911 Knife is much more than just a knife; it is a high-quality piece of art. Well designed and very well made, this knife is a pleasure to carry and operate. Terry, congratulations and thanks.

I got my 2nd gen knife and it is awesome for sure. My digital cam broke so the only cam I have is my cell phone cam and it's not the greatest.

Terry: I also see the 1st gen folder you bought last year. It seems to have been carried and used a lot!

The knife arrived and I have to say I really do like it. I purchased your knife for show, not for field, it's too nice, in my opinion to be hacked up and abused, sorry, nice things I like to keep nice... ya know.

Your knife is something else. It is great. Thank you for the quality knife. I hope my pictures do it justice. My sons like the first one here the best.

The grips are great. I took your advice and gently filed an ambi-cut on the G10 grip.

These (pictures) are not my best at all. You will get more when I get a matching set of grips. I want an Officer set for sure! Can't wait till they come in.

This is one of the nicest and most robust knives that I have ever bought. I especially like the balance and 'feel' of it in my hand, not to mention that I can change the grips on an "as needed" basis.

Received the knife today. It is totally beautiful. It will be a birthday present for my son who turns 46 May 30th, and is a complete M1911 Nut. Am sending a couple of pictures for your collection.

The pistols clockwise from nine o'clock are, Colt M1905, the Grandaddy of the M1911, a Springfield M1911, A Colt Series 70 Gold Cup, a Hardballer, A Gold Cup upper on a Para Ord Hi-Cap lower and a Colt Officer's Model. I like 1911s too. The other is a Thompson M1928A1 surrounded by other .45 ACPs.

Hope you like my pictures half as much as I like your knife.

I received the knives today, and they were beyond my expectations. The quality, the construction, and the feel are all top notch. Fit and finish is superb, and the blade is razor sharp to say the least. I would highly recommend your product to everyone.

Here are a few snap shots I took.

I purchased Terry's M1911 Folder mid November. Here are some photos and description of what I found to be an innovative, praise worthy folder.

Using 1911 grips on a knife isn't new, as I know of at least one maker that produced a fixed blade knife with 1911 grips, but a folder made as such and this innovative locking system I haven't seen. Coupled with a professional fit and finish, Terry has brought a very nice toy to market.

These M1911 knives are even more awesome in person! I ordered a pair & am glad I did. They look very cool with USGI brown plastic grips and slotted grip screws, too.

Pictured here with my real deal 1944 mfg Remington Rand USGI 1911A1:

The main reason I ordered your great knife was to add a "barbeque knife" (the one you bring out at the BBQ to show your friends) to my "barbeque gun". I got a set of amboynas burl grips for Xmas to match those on my gun.

My wife gave me a great Christmas gift this year. She must have been excited for me as she gave it to me as soon as it came in! I love it. Beautiful artistry and precision machinery in one. It may be too pretty to use, but when I do, I'm sure it will last for generations.

Just got the knife. It's great! Thank you for installing the slim bushings and doing the blade in a polished S30V. This knife has a very solid lock up, the blade runs true down the center of the frame when closed, and the open close cycle is very smooth. When closed the blade is held in with significant spring tension. By the way, the back spring locking mechanism is massive! Nicely over built, it looks like it would never fail. Grind and polish are all first rate.

I took several pics of the knife with my 45 cal black powder percussion pistol. I figured you've got plenty of pics with "normal" 45s, lol. Knife has Colt grips on it. I also polished up the screw heads so they look real purty.

I picked up the knife at the post office yesterday. It's definitely a winner! I'm very pleased with it and I can see that it'll be on my belt for some time to come. Here is a picture of the knife with the grips that I ordered from Springfield to complement my 1911.

In comparing the two knives, 1st & 2nd generation, all the improvements, from the blade to the Hammerhead to thumb blade release are all fabulous. I want to grade you with an A++ for a job well done on both the old and new knives and also great communication and quick shipment.

If my wife will allow it, I am looking forward to the fixed blade, ha ha.

Your M1911 knife is one of the few knives I have seen that will shave right out of the box~!!
I didn't need to sharpen your knife like I must do with some many others.

Received the package today and sure was pleased!! Professional packaging and the quality of the knife locking mechanism is superb.

I installed ERGO grips on my 1911 knife. The same ones I had on my 1943 Remington Rand 1911A1 I carried in the US Army during my OIF deployments, similar to the one in my WW2 collection as shown.

Thanks for making a great quality product!

Got it! And really fast as well. The Post Office wasn't even as accurate in the tracking prediction as Terry was. I attached the clip but because he included two types of cases I'm torn between how to carry it. Right now it's the clip.

I'm sorry to see that blood was drawn. Guys, please be careful with the blade.   - Terry

I received my satin 440C 1911 knife today and am very pleased. As has been stated the knife is excellent in fit and finish. There is no blade play at all and lockup is perfect. The packaging is so nice I will have to save it. Highly recommended!!!
Thanks,
