Re: Vendetta corsa

Dear Thom: Yes Jeremy does great work. Custom knives, repairs ,alterations. I just had to show this knife on Talkblade. Looks even better in person. Incidentally is he making a vendetta for you also or another kind. There isn't much he will not attempt. Thanks for your post. Rob.
