This is me...in case you need a face for the name...

Hi everyone.

My name is Jared West. I'm a 28 year old graduate of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and I live in Orange County, California. I own and operate a company called Mantis Knives. We make a variety of innovative cutlery pieces for carry by the Military, Police, and other government organizations, as well as knife-nuts who have great collections.

In addition to the Mantis Knives designs you'll see at THE ORIGINAL CHOP SHOP (my ebay store)...from time to time, you'll see various other types of products that might be of interest to knife guys: things like NIGHT VISION MONOCULARS, CUSTOM CAR PARTS, awesome GADGETS and GIZMOS, as well as EXTREMELY rare items that i've found during my travels around the world (ie: limited edition Panarai watches, Militaria, etc).

There are a few things that you can absolutely count on when you buy from me: i'll accurately describe every aspect of the product, i'll ship it as fast as humanly possible, and i'll communicate with you throughout the transaction.
