"So far I field dressed and skinned 4 deer and butchered them complete... The edge is like the 1st day I received it. Keep up the good work. I'm so happy I waited to get one of your knives."

"Depending on my mission set this knife I got from you years ago is still my primary. Let’s just say it’s been through some things. [...] I’m still shocked how well it’s held up. [...] I even had to use it as a pry bar in a rolled vehicle crash. The knife looks like the day I bought it."

"I have used the knife a lot since I received it and I must say that I am positively surprised with the edge holding and build quality. I have quality knives in A2, D2, CPM 3V, M390, CPM 110V, CPM 90v… but your A2 is something else. You must have that heat treatment spot on. This knife has become something of a holy grail for me."

"I work as a hunting guide and I [...] Used your knife to process (skin, cut the whole meet out of the 1400 lbs mooses) three mooses in a row without sharpening it again. [...] thank you for making an excelent tool like this"

"Out performs any previous knife I have owned. Well worth every penny and more."

"I have gone through maybe 100+ knives looking for a really good bushcraft knife. [...] Yours is the best custom knife I have ever purchased."

"Well I am throughly impressed! After a few days of plant clearing, wood chopping and food prep it still cut hair! Holy shit man!! Thanks for everything."

"Just received your knife in the mail and damn! Is it awesome! As an avid knife collector, camper/hiker/fisherman, and amateur knife maker I've used hundreds of knives over the years. The design, fit, finish, and temper on your blade are all outstanding. Truly a functional work of art and one I look forward to using for years."

"Just a little note to say I have finally had a chance to take my shiny new knife on a camping trip. It performed really well for everything I tried from batonning to making fine feather sticks and is still shaving sharp. Totally worth the wait. So pleased and wanted to say fantastic job making it."

"I've been meaning to email you since I received my Resolute...I couldn't be happier! you truly outdid yourself!"

"Just got my MKiii today. This thing looks like a beast and top notch. Fit and finish is perfect. A beast. I wasn't sure wether or not I would like the coating but it looks amazing. Hats off to Aaron and his labor of love. Thanks again brother."

"I just wanted to follow up and confirm that my Resolute delivered without issue.. and holy shit, it's absolutely exceeded my expectations. I took it down with me to meet up with a few of the other IRC folks ... and I didn't hear anything but admiration from them. We're talking about a crowd that'll pick apart details on the nicest of knives ... and it was nothing but praise. Thanks a ton for the work on this. Love everything about it"

"Still my favorite fixed blade knife: the Resolute Mk III by Canadian knifemaker Aaron Gough. You just can't beat perfection!"

"Aaron, I got my knife today as a Christmas present from my wife and I have to say I'm stoked. This knife is so nice. The quality looks top-notch on your site but is even more impressive in person. If people could hold these in their hands, they would buy for sure. Anyone thinking about buying one of these, just do it, you will be so happy you did."

"Were you ever just really excited about something and when you finally got it it wasn't what you expected? Well, this definitely isn't one of those times. Holy cow man this thing is amazing! I can't believe how awesome this knife is. You are truly one Hell of a craftsman. Thanks so much. I want to buy another one now."

"I have a Resolute Mk III and I have to say, if I had to march into hell it's the knife I'd bring with me."

"It is absolutely beautiful, well worth the wait."

"I have to tell you, the knife (and the sheath!) are absolutely impeccable and completely exceeded my expectations! The craftsmanship is superior, the design and the way it fits the hand awesome, and it came with a hair popping sharp edge! I own a lot of knives, both production and some customs, but this knife rises above anything else I have. It's almost too nice to use but I will be using it as my go to from now on!"

"I bought one of your knives this year and I was finally able put it to use. I shot a deer this morning and it was used to dress it.  It cut like a laser beam and felt great in the hand and not slippery at all.  Thanks again for a great product.  My hunting buddy now wants one..."

"Never have I owned a knife that fits so well, it is truly an extension of my hand."

"Wonderful, better than expected! [...] your kydex work is the best that I've ever seen (both custom and large manufacturers compared) [...] yours sets a very very high gold standard. [...] Oh, that small thumb jimping on the sheath is a FANTASTIC, practical touch."

"Incredible work of art!!!! Can’t wait to pick up my next one!"

"Aaron Gough is a true master craftsman. The product he created exceeded my expectations (which are very high). Quality and attention to detail beyond perfect. Thanks Aaron."

"The culmination of two years of lurking around your YouTube videos and wishing and waiting for an MKIII ended about 30 minutes ago. It'll probably only slice bologna (condo homeowners association won't let me trim trees) but even that will be a joy. Fun to just hold a flawless, finely crafted tool. My grandson will get it and the story of it's creation once I'm done. They are shipped SHARP!"

"I can see that every possible detail of the knife and sheath were well thought out to the smallest of details; I really appreciate that. You did deliver a true shaving sharp knife; not many manufactures do that. [...] I am proud to own your Resolute MKIII. It was, indeed, well worth waiting for."

"Just got my [...] Gough Resolute MKIII. It's really amazing. Worth the 8 month wait for sure. Can't wait to use it. Thank you Aaron."

"Got mine from the post office today. Absolutely impeccable quality - sharp as hell. I can't wait to put it to work!"

"The Resolute showed up in the mail the other day. Just wanted to say it’s a thing of beauty and worth the wait. Looking forward to taking it into the mountains."

"This knife is pure art! Can't wait to go out and use it!"

"Just wanted to say that I got my knife from you a week or two back [...] holy shit mate it’s everything I expected from you and more, it couldn’t be more perfect and I am more than impressed of how much you put into everything you make since I started following your work."

"Dear Aaron, I received your resolute on Monday. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece. I absolutely love it. It will accompany me when I go for trekking in the Alpes. It is so beautiful. My son was also so impressed. On the first glance you can see the fine workmanship you applied and it caresses your hand."

"Just wanted to let you know that the knife arrived last Friday and I loooooooooooove it!!!! I love the make, the look and feel, the handling …. simply everything!"

"Aaron just got the knife out of the mail box . Amazing quality. I've never seen something like this [...] it's fucking beautiful. [...] The look, feel, balance, style, absolutely perfect."

"This was a birthday present for my dad, him, my family and I were amazed by the quality of the work you did. Truly, this is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and you are a very talented artisan."

"I cannot thank you enough for making such an awesome knife...I was absolutely gobsmacked when I opened the box and saw knife. You are truly a master craftsman. The wait was well worth it!!!"

"First year with the knife. Skinned, caped, quartered, boned out. Moose, two whitetail, two elk. Only had to touch up the edge for the moose. Outstanding knife that will be on my belt for all future backcountry use. Amazing quality, and attention to detail along with the material."

"Got the knife and its even better than I expected! A wonderful addition to my collection. Thank you again and I surely appreciate your help and craftsmanship."

"The knife is beautiful and looks (and feels) even better in person."

"Must say that is beautiful beyond all the expectations and I just cannot stop holding it. Perfection!!!"

"Just received the blade. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful."

"Aaron, words can’t describe this knife. Absolute perfection. [...] This knife will be on my belt, and in the field daily. [...] I’ve owned Randall’s, Doziers, Chris Reeves, etc. My search for the perfect knife is over."

"I can't stop looking at it."
