"Your 14oz. Blackjack actually saved my life one night at a rest stop in the middle of nowhere! Thank you for making such a reliable defensive tool. "

"I just received your KD4K model and I must say I am thoroughly impressed. It is razor sharp, small, lightweight and perfectly balanced. You can bet I will be buying a lot more from you in the future. Thanks. "

"I acquire knife from the Draven Industry here in Japan through Postal serviced. You have quality product. Knife I recived in Package was great designed, had nice sheath, and wears around my neck good. Thank you all."

"After receiving the 14" HAVOC Barong I ordered  in the mail, I am faced with a huge problem...I'm gonna go broke!! I want one of everything you  make now!! Hahahaah. Seriously though, you're an amazing artist, Eric. Please keep up the great work."

T.G.- Mn.

"Hello sir. I am holding one of your Razor Balis in my hand and I must say it is a work of art. You  have an eye for the world of weaponry sir. This is one Balisong in my collection that will never get sold."

D.T.- WA

"Wow Draven. I just got the Bowie, the Barong,  plus the 2 KD4Ks I ordered, and I am floored. The workmanship of these knives is far above production level. Your standards and attention to detail is epic! I'm not just saying that because I want a discount the next time I buy something, I mean it. Your talent and ability to execute it is  truly epic!! Keep on keeping on."

C.W.- Ohio

"Well, after a bit of a wait, I received my knives  and gear. I have to say this, it really was worth the entire wait. Now that I can see your work up close in my hand, I understand the wait time. I plan to order much, much more, no matter what the wait time is. This level of craftsmanship is worth it."

J.F.- N.Y.C.

"I'm a little upset to be honest. I bought one of  your REKs and now my whole team wants one. I can never seem to keep that knife you made for  me in my pack for long."

S.K.- WY

"What on earth are you using to sharpen these knives? I own 47 custom knives from numerous makers, all of which are amazing...but the edge on this necker I got from Steel Addiction is ridiculously sharp. Do you teach sharpening or knife making classes?"

T.L.- HI

"I want to say how much I appreciate your  patience with me. I know I made it hard for you during the design, and re-design, and subsequent re-re-design processes. Thank you for being so  kind and patient the whole way through our journey. Now that I have the finished knife in my hand that you helped me design the way I wanted,  I couldn't be happier. Cheers mate."

More Draven!! MORE DRAVEN!!! WHERE do I get MORE of DRAVEN'S Work? I have your KD4K, 2 of your JAKs, and one of your HAVOC Barongs, and I want MORE!! Your prices are great too...very competitive. My eyes are peeled for more Draven.

S.O.-TX 

I'm a Diplomat from ********. After seeing your work online and ordering that special set of knives, I got them. They are just what I wanted...and to be honest, they are what I needed too. The materials you made them from are up to spec and exactly what I asked for. Great work, you can bet my colleagues and I will be "knocking on your door" again. (Please dont post the country I'm from if you post this in your customer comments area)

From the guys here at ST3, thank you. Your knives have served us well. Bravo.

The PK Nano makes a great neck knife. God willing, I will never have to use it, but its nice to know that i have a versatile tool if i ever do need it. The S30V keep the rust issues to a scant minimum, and its sharper than hell. The retention of the Kydex sheath is great, no way you can lose this knife on accident unless you warp the Kydex. All around a great buy!

M.R.- VA

This Aggressor is a mighty decent knife. I have yet to EDC it or use it all that much for anything, but its well constructed nonetheless. I'm not a big fan of Kydex sheaths, but this one fits the knife well. The knife is quite well balanced because of the G10 handles and drilled out tang. Decent work.

The MSK Cobra is a high quality knife with a simple, yet secure sheath. Excellent for quick cutting tasks. The only real drawback is that the sheath is designed for neck carry. Since its a smaller sized knife, I would like to see it re-designed to attach to a belt, a backpack, or even a MOLLE Vest.

Hey Eric...After the wait I got my Necker and Balisong in the mail this AM. VERY VERY GOOD WORK!! As an AVID Knife Collector, I am impressed. Keep it up Eric.

D.K.- AL

"Now I understand why your stuff is so hard to find online...everyone keeps the knives they buy from you. Rarely do I see one of your knives for sale by a private party. I know you supply a certain small group of Dealers and Purveyors, but as for the secondary market, its a no go. That tells me your knives and gear MUST be great."

T.K.- VA

Update: "I got one of your knives from AZCK!! Its unreal!! I got one of the Skull Rings you have recently began making and I love it. You have to make more of those, and you have to make more variations too. Thank you for making such unique stuff."

T.K.- VA

"I just want to say thank you for the great knife and the fast shipping to Germany. Your customer service is excellent. Keep up the good work."

H.Z.- Germany

"I came home from work today to find my wife with the knife you made me, and do you know what she was doing with it? MAKING DINNER!! Needless to say I was a little upset. After I calmed down I asked her why she was using my new custom knife to cut up the Roast Beef, she said it was the only knife in the house sharp enough to cut through that much meat. Thank you for making such a sharp product, oh and my wife thanks you too. (haahahahaha!) "

"All Hail Draven! Brother, you have some serious skills. I'm stationed here in Afghan-land right now, but I just had my girl send me your ST Bowie and 3 of your 14oz Blackjacks. One BlackJack for me, and 2 more for my LT and my SSGT. Your work and the amount of detail and time you must put into each of these is mind-numbing. I can't wait to get my next Paycheck so I can get back on your website and buy some more gear. Cheers."

M.D.- Afghanistan

"Finally got my hands on your Skull Rings and they are top of the line. Price, fit and finish, and size all came together to form the perfect little fistload. Thanks D.I."

G.P.- AK

"I am writing you to say thank you for the beautiful knife you made for my husband for Christmas. The knife was so well made, the delivery was on time, and he uses it every time he goes hunting. I find it funny that he is now looking for more reasons to use it. :-) I had never dealt with a knife maker before you, and my experience was wonderful. My husband and I will be shopping with you more in the future. You can be sure of that."

D.W.- RI

"After recently requisitioning a custom project knife from you and receiving it I am proud to report full and complete satisfaction. You made the knife I drew exactly as I had drawn it, and even added your own touches that enhanced the overall design. I will definitely be sending you more designs of mine to build."

K.D.- SC

"If my English were the better, I would say how much I admire your knife work. Thank you for quality product making. I will buy more. "

Q.P.- Thailand

Mr. Draven,

Thank You so much for the Bowie Knife. The size of it is perfect and the handles fit my hand just right. You're work is above and beyond. I'll be a lifelong collector of your work, definitely. 

W.K.- Stationed in Iraq

Awesome...thats all I can say sir. Awesome.

D.T.- AL

Got the Knives today...Took a little while, but that's the nature of custom work. I expect my knives to be perfect, or as close as humanly possible, and I dont mind waiting for it.
You make a hell of a blade Draven. Good looking out.

W.P.- NM

DUDE! This Bowie is ridiculous!! I never thought I would say this, but its TOO sharp! Ok, there really is no such thing as "Too Sharp", but jeez D. This is crazy CRAZY Sharp!

K.J.- AZ

I believe this knife (the MSK 'Venom' REK) is the best out there for the all around purposes of Self-Defense. For those of you who are thinking about getting a serrated or not...get serrated. Its mucho useful. This knife comes out of the box so sharp that it seems illegal! Great design, great ergo's, and a home-run of a product!

Z.L.- SC

After numerous questions and emails, I took delivery of a Prototype Draven Dive Knife without a problem. The Proto-knife needed to be made to my specs so it arrived several days after placing the order. Thats not a big deal because you expect that with any custom work. So...Why was this particular knife design important to me? A few years back, when I was out spearfishing in Florida, I got tangled in the anchor rope of my Kayak. At the time, I didn't carry a blade of any sort, and frankly I was close to drowning- but the Lord was with me! I wont be going out spearfishing or scuba diving without a knife ever again!! Thanks Eric!!

B.A.- FL

Eric, Eric, Eric, ohhhhhh Eric. Why do you keep designing these knives?!?!?! I dont make enough money to buy all of them!...BUT I'M GONNA TRY!!! Just bought one of your Knives from AZCK...I want MORE!
