Keith Murr is an Arkansas knife maker who does great work. I own a Murr snakewood hunter made in 2007 that I will not part with. He has changed his logo since Scottyboy's knife was built. He prefers D-2 steel finished to a  rockwall hardness of 58/60. He is a fine craftsman, who stands behind his work and is a good guy to boot.   :thumbsup:

What Bill said...I bought my first Murr knife from him in 1991. Just this last May, I bought my second.

New one on top, 20 year old on the bottom.

GWV -

Thank you. Keith makes a very nice knife. SkottyBoy should be very proud of the gift from his father-in-law.
