I haven't had the good fortune to commission a knife, dagger or sword from Hellfire - YET.
I have, however, been amazed and wowed by the service I've seen the blacksmith give other customers. And me. He is happy to answer questions, discuss his craft and show you what he's doing and explain why. He really should offer lessons, if that's not something he already does.
In addition to custom orders limited only by imagination, budget and physics - Hellfire will take care of your existing blades!
I've had blades redone, am aware of others doing the same - and saw the other review (filtered) about an oxblood scabbard. I also spoke to the blacksmith about a rather valuable pocket knife I have. I was quite willing to bring it in to him for a little TLC - and of course, pay him for his labors. He asked a couple of questions about the condition, then told me what I can do at home to take care of it. Hey - even if he only charged me $15 or $20 - it would have been cash in his pocket I would have gladly paid. But his ethics and integrity stopped him from suggesting I bring it in. Little things like that make me all the more loyal - and should anyone ever ask me about knives - whether custom crafted or fixed - I am completely confident sending them to Hellfire.
Talk about full service!
The blacksmith is clearly someone who loves his craft - and is quite happy to share the passion if you take the time to show an interest.
