Ordered two Winkler axes for two members of my military team that were retiring. They shipped fast, however, I received the wrong items. The team worked quickly to send the correct items as fast as possible. Although they didn’t arrive in time for the retirement party, I still appreciated the effort.

Knife Art gets 5 stars for the great and rapid service. I bought a Winkler Operator. It's not my first Winkler Knife. This one missed the mark in two ways: The wood grips have a flaw (3/8" x 5/16") that was patched prior to delivery. Only time will tell if the patch holds, but it's at the edge closest to the working end of the knife. The blade was razor sharp, but the grind was off center putting the tip about 1mm off center. The sheath is high quality, but I made my own because I don't like the belt clip or the deep carry with only 1.5" of the grip/handle sticking out.

Enjoyed my experience so far..would give better rating and use the company much more if they had other options for payment..

Purchased another Spartan Blades/Harsey folder from KnifeArt. This time with a 3.25” Damascus blade also from Chad Nichols’ forge. Unfortunately there was a flaw in the blade that I suspect was due to something that happened during the acid bath or when the blade was being shaped at Spartan Blades. It never should have left Chad Nichols Forge, Spartan or KnifeArt if a QC inspector had looked closely…it was extremely obvious to the naked eye…not what you expect in a $515.00 custom knife. That said, I immediately called KnifeArt who emailed exchange/refund instruction to me within minutes of our conversation. I FedEx’d the knife back to them for exchange, and the replacement is already on the way…they shipped it the same day the defective knife arrived at their facility. Bottomline, excellent CS…no whining or playing 20 questions with me. As for QC (KnifeArt touts a “curated” collection available for sale), it’s on Nichols, Spartan and/or KnifeArt to figure out what went wrong. I’ll still buy from KnifeArt and/or Spartan again.

Your service was excellent and for that I will say 5 stars. The only issue I have is with the item I purchase which I know doesn’t fall on you. The “Expensive” tube of Chris Reeves grease I purchased at best was 1/4 full. I will never purchase one of his products again.

This is a beautiful knife. Quality is exceptional. The reason I could not give it 5 stars was the action. The blade washers need extensive working in before I got the ability to flip open with the thumb stud. I would think for the price point it would come ready to rock. I'll get there in a few more hours of fidgeting. Love it.

I was disappointed in that i ordered a Hinderer knife that showed it was in stock, got confirmation and a couple days later i got a phone call saying it was not in stock but they had same knife but with a different color handle so i excepted it from them and received it very fast. They were very nice to deal with and i will do business with them in the future. As far as Hinderer knives i love them but this is my second one and both would hardly cut paper, very dull but i was able to put a really sharp edge on them with my wicked edge sharpener.

I would give this knife a 5.0 + but it is a bit hard to activate the flipper mechanism. Maybe I’m just getting old (75) but I really takes a mighty downward thrust to open. With that said I will give the knife a 5.0 + and speed of service should get twice that many stars. Gentlemen, keep up the quality work, truly a piece of artwork!
