  • "I am proud to be affiliated with this company, I am proud of the projects we have worked on together; because I know how much love, heart, and compassion goes into everything Work Sharp does."

  • “Most importantly, Ken is a good person. He is honest and a man of the highest integrity. He is a person who keeps his word. Talking to Ken about knives is like being on a train going 100 miles per hour and trying your best to catch the scenery going by the windows. He is so enthusiastic and has so many ideas. All I can say is if you thought the last five years were something then just wait, because the best is yet to come.”
