It's pricey but so worth it, I'm a knife guy and I know quality when I see it, and this guys work is definitely my definition of quality

Great little shop with something nautical for every sea cowboy/girl or just mariner out there. From megladon teeth to carved knives, whale teeth and pipes, there’s truly something for everyone- even if it’s just a story of seeing a wooly mammoth tusk!
