Jason Fry - Fry
Custom Knives |
|
|
Knives are at the same time tools and works
of art. A pretty knife that doesnt hold an edge isnt
much of a knife. On the other hand, an ugly knife isnt
any better than what can be bought at the store for much less.
I try to make every knife both functional and beautiful. |

but would allow access to many. |
