SWC Handmade Knives

[welshwhit]

Hi there folks,

Looking to pick your brains again I'm afraid. . .

Has anyone got a SWC Knife, or used one/got photos of one?

I'm considering one and just wanted a bit of input from those of you in the know!

Thanks in advance!

i've never handled one myself, but i've heard nothing but the highest praise for them

What Nat says. A search on BB should yield more information. He's a member of BB too.

I have a couple on order, should be here next week I am told. Can't wait .

Dennis H (Brisa) on BB has just posted a video of assembling a knife. His was an Enzo but I feel sure you will learn something from the video.

I think it is under Dealers and is listed as "Video"

SWC knives, I ordered some kits two months ago and several emails went unanswered when enquiring about delivery time, then I ordered something else and I messed up the payment and got a reply within a few hours, since I have inquired again with no response.
Umm, you decide. I guess he is very busy, I`m told its among the best kit available, I wait patiently...

Steves products are of the highest quality,
His work is becoming very popular and hence, I believe, his lead times are stretching out a little. A little patience in ordering should see you with a very fine knife indeed.

Hi Mike,

Through email I am told that for a finished knife turnaround is 8-10 weeks, The knife kits a bit quicker.

For a price I emailed him what I wanted and he sent me back a quote, simple!

Hope that helps

Is SWC Steve Cox?

 

[Nelis]

Yep, I think SWC stands for steven wade cox, I ordered the blank materials from him (piece of 4mm O1 steel and some wood). They arrived within a week of payment.

I can imagine that he is getting quite busy with the basically the same knive designn as the alan wood/woodlore knive for half the price.

Well if thats right then I own one of his knives!

Its my home-made sheath though!

Lupo was a SWC blade kit. Got the blade from Steve about a week after ordering. Made mine 3mm thick rather than 4mm and a 100mm blade instead of 110mm. Here she is in her Buckeye clothing:









Had top service all the way through the deal, cannot fault SWC for quality or customer service.

Hi folks!

I just wanted to take a moment to say to anyone considering one of Steve's [SWC] knives that I have just ordered one and found the customer service to be excellent!

I have made a few changes to what I wanted and not only was Steve happy to alter the order, but he was happy to advise about the best results that I could achieve whilst drawing on his experience as a maker without changing what I wanted. Fantastic.

I can't wait to receive it now!

Thanks
Drew
