I recently bought a new crook knife from Ben Orford. I have to say I would highly recommend buying from Ben and Lois to anyone. It arrived in great condition and very quickly. The product was very high quality and performed amazingly well. I know this might sound cheesy but inside the packaging was a very nice HAND WRITTEN thank you note, which is a nice touch. If you are ever in the market for tools or leatherwork, give them a try as you won't be disappointed.
