Jay Fisher Knives

[2ndCharter]

I’ve been chatting with Jay about getting my oldest one of his knives. https://www.jayfisher.com/PJLT_Blue_Black_G10a.htm

This will be a graduation gift when he gets his beret in December.

Anyone have one of his knives, and if so, your opinion of them?

These are not inexpensive so I’m doing serious due diligence.

Not familiar with his work, seems the guy on Blade Forums have mixed reviews on him.

They are $$$$. For me, a knife, especially one I'm going to carry in bad places is a bit personal and I want one which I handled and it really fit my want/needs.

Is it a gift for him to use, or one for show? If use, I don't think I would want to carry anything that $$ downrange.

May be best for him to get to his unit and see what they are mostly using. Don't want to stick out as the new guy with the $3k "counter-terrorism" knife.

Which beret will he be earning? That may impact it some also.

“Only” the sage one right now. He was a CCT candidate but a training injury left him with two fractured legs. Luckily, he was allowed to select for SERE.

Yeah, it’s stupid expensive. I don’t have many years left above topsoil but every time one of my kids has a milestone event, I give them a commemorative item.

I hadn't heard of Jay Fisher, but looked into them after seeing this. He makes some amazing knives. They definitely appear to be the Rolex of knives. Maybe even the Patek Philippe.
