TESTIMONIALS
________________________________________
Around 15 years ago, a friend of mine showed me several beautiful knives with handles made of elk antler, desert ironwood and nickel silver. I have long admired my brother’s sizable collection of handmade knives, but nothing he had even came close to the look and feel of those knives etched with “R. J. Knives Montana”. From the internet, I learned that they were made by Bob Jolley and his son Josh in Livingston, Montana. Having made a dozen trips to fish the spring creeks in Paradise Valley, just to the south of Livingston, I decided that I would try to meet Bob and Josh on my next trip out. Over the years, I have enjoyed several meals with the two of them and Josh’s wife Michelle and I have even taken Josh to fish my favorite trout lake several times. I’ve spent countless hours on the phone with Josh picking his brain about handle materials and new types of steel. So far, I have commissioned Josh to build 25 knives for me, I have bought 3 more from other collectors and I have friends that have ordered an additional 6 knives after seeing my collection. I would describe Josh as a “Grand Master Craftsman” and my knives as “samples of perfection”. As proud as I am of my knives, I’m just as proud to call the Jolley’s my friends!

Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of commissioning Mr. Jolley to make several heirloom / museum-quality blades for my family. Josh is a true artist. After choosing one of his models, he spent time getting to know me. This not only led to a friendship, but allowed him to add unique features to each blade fitting my desires and its intended use. I consider myself fortunate to own 3 of Josh's handcrafted masterpieces and I look forward to our next project.

I believe R.J. Knives are without a doubt the most remarkable knives I have ever seen (and used). The craftsmanship and details are fantastic, and each one is thing of beauty! The designs reflect Josh's deep knowledge of his craft as well as the environment where it is to be used. I have several of his knives and I carry one whenever I'm hunting, or just in the backcountry.

"As for the knife - well I can honestly say that in 35 years this is by far and away the best knife I have ever seen/held. The balance is absolutely perfect and the attention to detail at this price or any other is remarkable. My Pumas, Bucks, Cold Steel, SOGs, Kershaws etc. can sit happily in my collection to be admired - I've finally found a knife that I consider "right". It's already on my belt - and it's going to stay there and be used but cared for."
