Testimonials
"I began following David’s work with FLC Knives several years ago. From the outset, I noticed that the company had a unique spirit and identity which was evident in it’s product line. There was a structure and discipline that I sensed there at a level not often found in the knifemaking community. Not only are the products unique in design and extremely well constructed, but each model is a logical and measured variation of the original core offerings. I reached out to David to connect and through our chats, quickly affirmed that, indeed, David possessed a knowledge base – both in business and in metalwork – that far exceeded my own. He combines modern machining technology with skilled hand work to produce products with reliability, repeatability, and old-world character. From a business perspective, David manages his brand with a careful, measured and strategic approach. David quickly became my go-to advisor for most aspects of my craft – I regularly rely on him for advice and guidance for everything from selection of materials, adhesives, heat treating, and production strategy, to brand management and financials. David is a skilled craftsman and a wealth of knowledge, and I am extremely grateful to have him in my corner."

I was first introduced to Dave by a mutual friend, after having had some out of spec parts designed and waterjet cut for my business.
From our initial conversation, it was clear I wasn’t dealing with some run of the mill person. I was dealing with a master at his craft. He knew and understood everything I was trying to communicate, even if at times I wasn’t able to verse it correctly. Dave worked tirelessly with me to develop my product, and even offered areas of improvement/small nuances that I had overlooked. It’s tough to find someone who is willing to share their experiences and lessons learned, (and more importantly) share them without ego. Dave has been an enormous resource for the growth and development of my operation, and I can’t thank him enough for all that he’s done for me.
