“Hammond’s
workmanship is awe-inspiring to inspect once you have one of his
blades in hand. Each line, grind, bevel, serration, and rounded edge
is as near
perfect as one could possibly expect coming from the human hand and
eye.”
G.W., Guns & Ammo “Combat

“You can buy customs that certainly are nice knives,
but they are just not like a Hammond. A Hammond is a really unique piece.
Of all the tactical knifemakers, he’s just at the very, very
top. His attention to fit and finish are second to none.”
Paul

“Hammond’s work is
pure no-nonsense combat common sense, period. A number of SEAL’s
I know own Jim’s knives, and mine’s been a delight to
carry and use regardless of where I’ve taken it, or what it’s
been called upon to accomplish.”

“Flesheater™, the ultimate military combat fighting knife, is a mastery blend of design and workmanship—a cut above, straight and to the point. The beauty and excellence of this fighting knife cannot be excelled.”
Ret. U.S.M.C. MSgt. Arcenio J. Advincula
Creator, U.S. Marine Corps martial arts training program
-
“Perfect, just perfect; that’s
what the knives of Jim Hammond are. Without a doubt, his knife execution
is about as
perfect as we have ever seen. The attention to detail is absolutely
unreal.”
J.S., “Gung-Ho
Custom Knife Handbook”
- "The Cruiser has the ergonomics that make it fit in the hand beautifully. It's a piece of sculpture. It has all the right things: the construction and mechanics are flawless, it opens and closes smooth as glass, and has gorgeous handle materials. A knife has to look beautiful open and closed and have a different personality in both positions. The Cruiser has that."

“What I said about Jim’s work stands as true today as it did in 1983—Jim Hammond makes the Ferrari of fighting knives!”
Paul Ehlers, America’s premier fantasy knife designer
- “You have probably heard this before but I am totally awestruck of the workmanship and design work in the Flesheater. The knife indexes so naturally it’s scary. This is the 18th custom fighter that I have bought in my quest for finding the knife that works for me. I have gone through Mad Dog Fighters, Mick Strider customs, Hossoms, Bladerigger, Phil Hartsfield, Al Polkowski, Walter Brend, Rob Patton to name a few. All the knives mentioned above are exceptional knives, but they had some details that didn’t work for me. Had I ordered a FE sooner I would have saved a lot of time and money.”
E.R.E., Norway
- “The design of the Flesheater is certainly one of a kind and nothing less than inspired. For me the ability to wield a piece of living history makes the knife all that more personal.”
J.S., former Army Ranger
- “The Flesheater is a work of art, by far the most beautiful knife I have ever seen. It is something I will be proud to pass on to my son one day. I look forward to being in touch with you again for another masterpiece.“
K.M., British Army

“I have to say it's amazing. I own a couple of 6" fighters from other makers, but your Endurance lays in my hand like some kind of natural extension of my arm. I've never held a more functional and effective knife. You are a true master of the art of knifemaking. Thank you for your brilliant work, and my trifecta of Hammond knives is now complete.”
C.N., USMC ret.

“Boldness, function, usefulness and beauty—all
qualities which Jim Hammond’s knives possess!”

“Jim Hammond’s collector knives have plenty of ‘soul’…His
knives’ most attractive features are their appealing design
and flawless workmanship.”
J.W., “Southern

“Of all the makers out there, Jim Hammond probably has
more experience with tactical knives than most, since he’s
been dealing with special ops groups for years.”
J.R., “Knives
Illustrated”
- “You are a true warrior and master artisan who understands what fellow warriors, military or otherwise, desire in the tools of our trade.”
R.P., U.S. Army Special Forces OD-A operator

“ There is no truer and more abiding happiness than the knowledge
that one is free to go on doing, day by day, the best work one can do,
in the kind one likes best, and that this work is absorbed by a steady
market and thus supports one’s own life. Perfect freedom
is reserved for the man who lives by his own work and in that work
does
what he wants
to do.”
