Ronnie Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/13/11 Posts: 2262 Loc: NW Mississippi	I borrowed this book from Tom (TAH) for a couple of months and really enjoyed it. I appreciate you loaning it to me Tom. There is a knife maker listed by the name of Daniel Valois (pronounced Val-Wah). He makes survival knives that are really neat. I did a search and found that he is still around...apparently and has a web site. However there are no prices and or knives for sale on the site. There is a notice that his knives can be purchased at another site, but I couldn't find any there either. I sent the guy an email from his web site but have heard nothing. After several weeks I sent another. Still no response. Does anybody know this fellow? Has anyone seen one of his survival knives? I really like his knife (except for the pakka wood handle) and would like to order one. Can anybody please help me. Thanks.

Ronnie, the only place I have seen them (survivals) is EBay every now and again. Arizona Custom Knives has some of Valois knives in stock. None are his survial models, but they may be able to direct you to the path to get in touch with him. Good luck. _________________________ Matt

Mike Keogh Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/20/15 Posts: 19	I know this is quite an old thread but I thought I'd give it a try as I didn't know these books existed and came across this quite by chance. I'm a UK based book collector specialising in knife books and I'd like to try and get copies of these books. ED 1 and 2 for the J E Smith one. Top dollar paid for good copies if you have one or know anyone who would consider letting them join one of the worlds largest knife book collection I'd be extremely grateful.
