Mort Lake Knives

From time to time I see references to Mort Lake knives which I never seen for sale anywhere. Can anyone comment on these?

Hi Manteo, you might by chance have seen them mentioned in one of my posts here, if not, oh well.

.
Mort is a Canadian who lives in Courtice which is near Bowmanville, Ontario which is east of Toronto, Ont.
I'm not sure wether he is making knives anymore, it's been awhile since I have seen him.
I have at least half a dozen of his razor knives.

Best bet would be to contact his friend Jam Oegema in Bowmanville, here's his web site, you can find his e-mail address there rather than me posting it in a public forum without his permission. Jan sold Mort's knives.

Hello,

I have two Mort Lake knives, and bought both of them from Jan. They are very nice knives, and hold their edge for a long time.

Carving,
Dan Heine
