Hi - Grateful for any advice from owners of Gerd's knives (http://www.mamut.com/gjknives). Quality, handling, value for money and service please. His curly birch handled felleskap is in competition with the Woodlores in my mind (actually it is winning the competition). His work looks outstanding. Thank you.
i aim to get one of his modified F1s when i can afford it.. as well as one of his bows if i can ever afford that! Gerd is a member of this site and of british blades.. you would do well to ask this question on british blades (www.britishblades.com) as i think there are probably more people over there who own one of his knives!

His work is excellent - he is an artist and a bushcrafter who actually uses the tools he makes.
I would say his biggest asset is that he actually cares about the tools he makes. You cant go wrong with any of his tools.
In fact I personally rate him so highly that I choose him above dozens of other knife makers to make my new BFK - and I am 100% happy with every thing he has done!

I've seen a couple of Gerd's knives and they really are superb. Works of art as well as fantastic tools. Given the choice, IMHO, it's a no brainer :D
I have a number of Gerd's knives and they are absolutely oustanding, the workmanship is second to none and very reasonably priced - superb value for money!
He is not only a good knife maker he is a really nice guy :)

Thanks everyone - his work does look outstanding and it is great to get some feedback from people who own or have handled his knives. I have already e mailed him and look forward to his reply - will let you know.
I am just trying to avoid the magnetic attraction of the Woodlore!

Great knife maker.
I have from him a traditional scandi utility knife with handle of curly grained birch, a reprofiled Felleskap Trond blade with a curly grained birch handle and an order in the making. :D
Value for money is great; service is also great keeps you inform through all details of making the knife and sheath.
I have an AW Woodlore but if I'm going out I'll take the Felleskap.
I have some pictures but don’t know how to resize or put them up. :confused:

Gerd's been having a few computer problems recently so your reply may be a bit delayed!

Thanks Fraser - my message to him bounced back but at least I know the problem is at his end.
