"Hi Andrew, you made me that special pair of double fighting knives (ving tsun)some time ago. Just want you to know, you are an exellent blacksmith! I havent forgotten about you, we will(!) be in touch in the near future."

"Years ago Andrew made me a skinner. It is a wonderful knife. I use it often and it always performs well. Occasionally I have to resharpen it just a touch and it's ready for use again!"

I carry and use the knife that Andrew made for me at bow shooting events and in my holidays. I use my knife for all sorts of things and it works perfectly. It was made in 2003 and I only had to sharpen it twice since. There is some scratching on the blade because at one day some PSU knives (Victorinox) of the Royal Dutch Army were cut into pieces by it (it's true).

I own a Jordan knife that has been used in the commando troops for 3 years. During the commando adventures my knife survived whereas most of the factory made blades failed. I am talking about SOG, Buck, AlMar, Gerber and so on. My Jordan knife is on of the top blades of my collection despite its history in the field.

"Today I use my Jordan knife for the first time, to chop branches from a tree stem. I hacked like a maniac on the wood and afterwords the blade was still able to shave the hairs from my leg. Amazing steel, Andy, stunning!!!"

"I was introduced to your work from a link someone posted of the "Werken en Werk: Messen" show on a knife forum. I am a beginning knifemaker, and until I saw that video of you I was sort of clueless. By watching the video I have learned a lot more, and have a greater appreciation for what goes into making a blade. I also have infinite respect for you and your work. The blade you made for that show is absolutely stunning, as is your other work. Thank you Andrew."

"Andrew, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Spirit of Steel Show in Dallas. I was most impressed with the quality of your work as well as your knowledge of and passion for the craft of bladesmithing. I am most pleased with the hunter / utility I picked up from you at the show. I am sure that this will not be my last Jordan blade."

"Andrew, I was completely impressed by the art of pattern welding in knife making. As a hunting horn player I am really close to hunting and often see all sorts of knives used. I have put the link of your site on our hunting horn site."

"Dear Mr Jordan, I have enjoyed watching the documentary, for a second time (in fact the 4th time) I recorded both broadcasts. It is great to see how a blade is made and furthermore I admire your skills and perseverance. Nice that we can say that best bladesmith lives in .......................The Netherlands ! ! ! Thank you for sharing the information and thank RVU for making this documentary."
René

"I saw the documentary on Dutch television last year and last week I noticed that it would be broadcasted again (today, July 19th). So I stayed at home just to watch you create your products with so much drive and love. I'm truly impressed, really. My compliments to you and also to your wife who must have supported you a lot; otherwise it would probably have been too hard to accomplish. Thank you for preserving skills. Your blades are more than just a 'product', the blades show the love which you put into them."
Peter

My hunting knife is beautiful and full of energy, thank-you. Now Matt has his own knife, he is saving up for a whole kitchen set. It has been a pleasure to know you (except when you're hitting me with a sword) and learn from you.

"Andrew, I already knew your work from various sources, such as bladeforums, messerforum. I enjoyed it then and I even appreciate it more since watching the documentary. Your knives are stunning. Now even my parents understand why I like collecting knives that much! (and why they are relatively expensive)."
