Anyone Have Experience or Opionion on Wilson Knives (Ryan Wilson/Wilson Tactical)?

[Kestrel]

I was looking at a site called wilsontactical.com, which is different from wilsoncombat. Evidently, it is Ryan Wilson, Bill's son. Wilson combat used to sell the knives on their site, but now Ryan has his own company, that is separate.

Are these knives any good? The Model 1 and Model 2 look good, but I don't know anything about them. Unfortunately, they are not reduced tangs.

It seems they package 870s and ARs, too...

Thanks,
Steve

Excellent quality knives with interesting designs.

Thanks for the info. Why do I rarely see any references to them? Are they just not very well known? Are they overpriced for what they are?

What other makers would you compare the Wilson knives to? (Level of quality, etc.)

Thanks again!

Ive heard good things about them. As far as being over priced, that is very subjective. They arent really my *thing* and they cost more than I am willing to pay. To me, that means they are over priced, but that doesnt meant that they dont have a good value.

These knives arent the typical knives sold by gunmakers. Typically "gun-knives" are rebadged taiwanese cheapes. Ryan Wilson is an actual knife maker and I believe all of his stuff is made in-house.
