MR. JERRY RADOS IS BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN FOR HIS SKILL AND ARTISTRY. HE HAS EXHIBITED HIS PIECES BOTH IN THE U.S.A., AND THROUGH EUROPE. HIS HOME AND FORGE ARE LOCATED ONLY A FEW MILE'S FROM MYSELF. I HAVE VISITED HIS FORGE ON MANY OCCASIONS; IT IS TRULY AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

MR. RADOS PRODUCES HIS KNIFES IN "TURKISH DAMASCUS" BEGINNING ONLY WITH RAW MATERIALS, AND UTILIZING METHODS THAT DATE BACK TO THE “5 th CENTURY. HIS UNIQUE DAMASCUS IS TRULY "ARTISTRY IN STEEL"! HIS UNIQUE DAMASCUS IS PURCHASED AND USED BY MANY OF THE BEST BLADE MAKERS WORKING TODAY. EVERY PART, ALL THE FITTINGS, LINERS, BOLSTERS, AND EVEN THE UNIQUE SCREWS OF EACH KNIFE IS PRODUCED TOTALLY BY HIM (HE HAS NO APPRENTICES, OR EMPLOYEES).

ONLY THE FINEST NATURAL MATERIALS (FOSSIL MAMMOTH, FOSSIL WALRUS, PEARL, AND BLACK PEARL) ARE USED FOR THE HANDLES, AND COMPLETELY HAND WORKED.

JERRY WORKMANSHIP IS FASTIDIOUS, AND UNBELIEVABLE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTRIGUED BY HIS FILE WORK! I HAVE SEVERAL OF HIS WORK'S, AND AM THINNING DOWN MY COLLECTION (MAINLY JAPANESE SWORDS, AND UNIQUE RARE ITEMS) OF 35 YEAR'S. JERRY IS CURRENTLY SELLING SIMILAR PIECE'S FOR APPROX. $ 7000.00, AND HAS A WAITING LIST! OWNING ONE OF JERRY'S WORKS, PROVIDES ENDLESS ENJOYMENT, AND RENDERS THOSE TO WHOM IT IS SHOWN AWESTRUCK. THE WORK OF THIS VANISHING BREED OF ARTIST IS A PROVEN SOUND INVESTMENT.

THE OPENING (VIA OFFSETTING THE HANDLE PANELS, WITH YOUR PALM), AND THE CLOSING RELEASE (THUMB PRESSURE ON THE FRONT 1/3 rd, OF THE HANDLE BACK RIDGE), ARE INNOVATIVE INVENTIONS OF JERRY'S!
