Opinions on American Kami?

[mikefraz]

Haven't really seen/heard too much on here about American Kami on here. I know his stuff is a little too "Tactical Artsy" for some. And his prices aren't exactly putting him in the bargain area at your local knife store. With that being said, a lot of his designs catch my eye. Does anybody have anything from him that they can speak on as far as quality, satisfaction, and how you have used it?

Currently looking at his M10, it doesn't really fit in any particular spot in my line up, but that hasn't really stopped me before.

They are awesome... but the chisel grinds bother me in an OCD kind of way (the mid-techs aren't usually chisel ground, though). I've handled a few, but have never owned one. Fit and finish is excellent.

Quality knives. Not my style but all their stuff is well made

His axes make me weak in the knees.

You're not the only person to hate chisel grinds. It's like half a knife. So asinine.

The only thing I own from American Kami is a TAD edition Ti Spork, it's pretty cool, and works for what it is. I'd like to handle a couple of his blades though!
