JM Custom Knives - Thoughts?

[Edd101]

I want to add a decent knife to my stalking kit, something that will to all intents and purposes last a lifetime. There seems to be so many options of custom knife makers out there it's hard to sift through it all.

I really like the look of a couple of the JM Custom Knives models. From everything I can tell they seem to have a good reputation. I was wondering if anyone here owns one and would be willing to share their thoughts?

Avoid !

Top guy, top quality!.

I suspect the OP is referring to JM Knives, rather than JN Knives..?

I have no experience of JM, I would avoid JN though.

I have a few of his knives and have never been disappointed.
I know he collaborates with some professional stalkers, and together they come up with a design, best to use the knowledge of someone who’s constantly using it for its purpose.
Can’t get a better better endorsements than the full time stalkers that are gralloching and processing 100’s of dear a year, it they weren’t upto the job they use something different.

Could you please explain why avoid, don’t confuse me with JN knives

Don’t confuse my knives with JN knives.
My knives are made by me from start to finish in my own workshop, and they are used by plenty of full time stalkers.

A mixup between JN and JM.

JN is importing cheap, blingy tat from pakistan and selling as per custom, clearly gifting them to well known stalkers for promo.

JM is a bona fide knife maker.

Big difference

Your hand is definitely not going to slip off that.

My mistake ! I confused JM with JN.

But I would avoid JN at all costs!!

 

[Dave_45]

It’s been said already but JN and JM are not the same

JN =junk

JM= top level craft

Thanks for the comments, glad we got the confusion sorted out, I’ve been trading as JM Custom Knives for about 11 years now I stand by my knives and the fact that a lot of thought and work goes into them, I don’t just make a knife and start selling it, new designs are tested by deer managers and professional stalkers, and they are tweaked as needed before finalising the design.I only make knives i like and would use myself. If anyone is thinking about a custom knife you’re welcome to come to my workshop and see where it’s done, I have my regular design’s but we can always tweak them or come up with a custom design, that’s the all idea of a custom knife but I don’t make zombie ****. If you’re going to the stalking show I’ll be up on the gallery it’s my third year being there and they’ll be plenty of knives to look at. Cheers John

Which model is that? I don't think I've seen it on the website. I really like the look of that hand/finger guard.

Thank you

 

[ASHCROFT9491]

Not sure as had for years, sure @JM knives will confirm and if still available

That’s one of the very early early Pro Hunters, it still has the finger guard just not as much, all my knives have a finger guard to some degree.
