"What a beautiful knife! You sure do good work! I am gonna have to keep you in mind for my brothers birthday later this summer. He would flip over one of your knives Also!" - Craig 2008 |
This knife kicks ass !!! |
Got it just in time. Im off fishing today. If I catch a trout small enough to eat I’ll christen the knife on that. Thank you. This knife is beautiful and of the first quality. It took me 6 months of watching ebay and surfing the net to decide on who would make me my new knife, and out of all the cutlers I could find on the internet I decided that it would be you. The steel from those Alabama boys is a real bonus as well. Thanks again James S New Zealand 2007 |
BEAUTIFUL!!! It was at the post office. I love it! I would like you to make three knifes for me and my two sons. What is the process? Thanks again JP Texas 2007 |

"The knife arrived on Tuesday safe and sound. It is fantastic. I am very happy with the knife. You have really outdone yourself on this one,it is gorgeous.I might get one of the displays from you in the near future. Thanks for doing such a great job on the knife." Jim C FLA 2008 |

"Dom I think I have never owned a good knife before. Last hunting season I field dress four deer. The last one I did was skinned and I even cut the back straps out hitting bone and all. I told you I will be ruff on your knife and I was. The knife did not even need to be touched up between deers and I should be able to use it next year without using my stone. Great knives you make, you told me I would like it I love it. Jon" 2007 |
The FULL THROTTLE is the second knife I have bought from Stebbins. I thought the first was beautiful – a great knife for fishing, a present for my cousin who is an avid fisherman. The second time around I wanted something special that I could display and the FULL THROTTLE just blew me away. The mammoth tooth – Damascus steel combination is amazing. The level of workmanship is superb – it’s truly a work of art, made by a master. Your website says you are striving for excellence and let me tell you, you have achieved it. Thanks again.

The knife arrived today, and I have to say that it is a work of art, truly a masterpiece. It is so beautiful that I hesitate to use it and risk damaging it. The size and balance is perfect, and I just love the arched spine together with the beautiful hollow grind. The pattern of the ambroyna handle matches the damascus pattern on the blade so perfectly that you think they where made for each other.Not to forget the sheath that fits just perfect, and protects the knife while wearing it There´s only one drawback, and that is I´ll have to wait a while before my girlfriend will allow me to order another knife from you.. Thank you for your great service, hats of for a true master . Regards,Mats Gebelius (Sweden) 2008 |
I just received my knife this morning. It is Absolutely gorgeous. I am just thrilled with it – you are quite an artist . I was not expecting the fancy filework and pins. The guard, the handles and workmanship. The Damascus is beautiful steel. I really appreciate it so much and if you ever are looking for a referral, give my number for them to call me. Thanks again for such and outstanding knife I may be getting another soon! Al from Cheyenne - WY 2008 |
Hi Db, All arrived safely yesterday. Absolutely fabulous Dom, really great, thanks a bunch, I am really pleased. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but will just as soon as it's been sharpened. I'm gonna start saving for another right now!!!!!!! Many thanks again. regards Tomas GB England 2008 |
Hi Db, The Nessie came yesterday. All I can say is "WOW'. ( In fact, that is exactly what I said when I opened the zippered case....WOW!) The birch burl,red jasper and stag are not LOUD at all. They go together beautifully. It is a fantastic knife! Thank you, Take care, Jim FLA 2008 |
