Title: Tippit Knives???
Post by: L. E. Carroll on January 03, 2009, 04:08:00 PM: I was lucky , VERY LUCKY!!!! to get 1 of Jeff's knives. Realizing, he "NEVER SELLS" one, I'm curious, who else has been so lucky. Jeff is a wonderful guy and makes a beautiful knife mine "Little Razor" is "High Up" on my list of Prized Possesions. I had mine made into an Awesome "Arm Guard knife" with the help of Matt Hayes, a real atrist with leather in the Portland Ore. area.

Post by: Irish on January 03, 2009, 04:33:00 PM: Jeff gave me one a couple years ago. Love that little knife. Have used it on deer, hogs, goats, bear. Jeff is class act, and makes a great knife. I also have a couple of Rob's (robattoo), also great work. And Ray Hammond made a knife for me at is very special. There is a "Sticshooter Knife" in my collection, and a Doug Campbell necker also. I do love knives. There are some great knife makers on TradGang!!

Post by: Carbon Caster on January 04, 2009, 12:00:00 AM: I have an Osage handled Bird and Trout Style knife Jeff Gifted me. It probably takes the best edge of any knife I own. It is a fine blade and an even finer man. Doc is one of a kind!

Post by: tippit on January 04, 2009, 08:02:00 AM: You guys are makin' me blush. They are just therapy knives...hunks of steel that I get to pound on. Nothing fancy like the real knife makers on the "Hunting Knives and Crafters" Forum. The good thing is I don't get many complaints about the price :) Thanks for your kind comments...Doc

Post by: flint kemper on January 04, 2009, 11:52:00 AM: I can only wish for one. His work looks to be top notch and I think they are SWEET looking to boot. 30-35 Bears skinned should tell ya something about the quality. Flint

Title: Re: Tippit Knives???
Post by: sticshooter on January 05, 2009, 08:08:00 PM: Tippit makes knives?? :scared: :knothead: You bet he does... SOME OF THE BEST> OK guys with knives how come NO pics???/ Shell and I are both Blessed with one. And I am not ashamed to say one bit...That I have been after another since he started making them. The man has everything so it's hard and all to swap him for one and like all know.The man DON'T SELL HIS KNIVES!Funny I was was looking over old posts and pics last night and found one of his knives with a osage handle and a very pointy blade. Would be great for the kitchen ot fish cleaning or back strap removal. If anyone wants to part with a tippit let meknow. See I told ya when it comes to his knives I have NO shame !

Title: Re: Tippit Knives???
Post by: vermonster13 on January 05, 2009, 08:13:00 PM: They are hard to come by and worth the work from what I've seen. I've probably seen as many of them as anyone (he brought about 40 to my house a while back) and I still don't have one! :biglaugh:

He's such a tease! lol
