Really fast shipping and delivery, arrived in good condition and the print quality is good. T-shirt fabric is a little bit on the thin side however still feels good quality. Bought as a present - I’m sure he’s going to love it!

PREMIUM "PROCESS" TSHIRT

Had a excellent experience purchasing from Alec Steele Co. Was waiting for my order for a couple weeks which I assumed was because I don't live in the USA. So I sent an email just to clarify and confirm my order went through. Customer service was top notch and explained the backlog they were having. Totally understandable. Within a few days of the email I had received the order. The Shirt is awesome and fits great. And gets lots of compliments aswell. Looking forward to doing business In th...

L-BOW GREASE T-SHIRT!

Travis B.

I work in a machine shop with a lot of abrasives, like scotch bright, and acids I was going through a pair of jeans every month or so these last significantly longer, have yet to wear through a pair in just under a year, and the stitching all around is very durable, my only complaint is the belt loops are on the larger side so with a thinner belt the tops of the pants can have tendency to roll how ever that is an easy fix so I recommend if your looking for a durable long lasting pair of pants wi...

i love these pants, well made and a good fit and i will buy a second pair. a few things i would like, personal preferences and not a criticism of the design; shorter interior pockets in the cargo pockets as i find getting shorter tools out of them a bit difficult, an option for double layered knees would make these last a lot longer. one thing i do think is a possible fail point is the stitch at the base of the zipper casing ,it seems to be taking a lot of stress when removing or putting them on...

This thing is AWESOME!!! If the saying it does not have to be big and bulky to be strong was ever put to use, it would be describing this tool. All I can say is WOW. I have only used it once, but with some very hard material and after just a few minutes, all that came out of the hole was dust. I am very pleased with this and will definitely be purchasing it again if I ever wear this one out.

This was a special 11th anniversary gift for my husband, since the traditional gift for #11 is “steel”. My husband was super excited to receive a steel tool, autographed by one of his favorite online craftsmen, whose name also conveniently fit the anniversary theme. 😊

Works great. Quick and easy belt and accessory change. I would highly recommend to anyone that wants a grinder with a smaller footprint than a 2x72 or does not have 220v readily available. This unit has more than enough power in 110v.

I’ve been using some wee wire “toothbrushes” for the longest time. This thing is a game changer! It just works! Feels good in the hand and does the job a treat! Thanks!

From order to shipment and arrival at my door was reasonable time frame. Item arrived well packaged so as not to be damaged or cause damage. Looking forward to shaping my first knife :)

Our son is 8 years old an is a huge fan! He has to watch educational TV before school every day so his choice is your YouTube videos! He got an Anvil and some tools from Santa this year. We both work for Home Depot (20+years) so we get him tools all the time. He's been into tools since he was 2 yr old! He's been cold forging and can't wait to get into the real stuff. Lol Thank you so much for being the kind of guy who kids can look up to! We love your show and we're raising our son to grow into ...

These are my second pair, that should say something. Love how they fit, are nice and roomy, so no getting anything crushed when bending or sitting etc. I did lose a press stud on my first pair, so maybe something to look at. I can’t see these being the last pair I order, good, hard wearing pants. Now just need a shirt and jacket to go with them. Hint hint

When wearing an article of clothing of any kind, it’s often not especially difficult or time consuming to notice the little things. The custom buttons, the subtle embroidery, the deep tuckable pockets, the design perfectly suited to the needs of any hardworking pants-wearer. My only gripe; these pants are brown. Black enough to fit in the my other black clothes, but just barely. I own nothing black clothes, and I’ve grown accustomed to it. I only wish there were a darker shade available on your ...

This is the second pair I've purchased for my son...they are by far his most favorite pants ever!! Super rugged for work, and nice enough to wear out - his words ;-)

I recently ordered a stack of 1080 carbon steel and a block of ironwood burl for a small project and couldn’t be happier , I got these items delivered to the Republic of Ireland and was pleasantly surprised with how quick the delivery was Every item was carefully wrapped and safely secured as to not get damaged during shipping , would definitely recommend

haven’t gotten the chance to use it yet bout out of the box it’s razor sharp, and i’ve seen nothing but positive reviews so i have no doubt it was a well worth purchase. hoping it makes fitting tangs just that much easier!!

Chris W.

The first broach that came was cracked. They sent me another one in two days. Incredible customer service. Not only does Alec make sure to carry the best items on the market, the knowledge that if something goes wrong, you know he'll take care of it. Why would you deal with any other company?

This was a Christmas gift that I ordered that was lost in the mail. Customer Service was great. I emailed them and they immediately sent a new one that arrived in a timely matter. Thank you so much.

Purchased the grinder as a Christmas present for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Beware, the box has a label on it indicating what the item is. Due to the packaging the Christmas surprise was ruined like Alexa ruined the fact that reindeers can’t fly.

What can I say more than I drop my phone in my shop all the time. The raised edge along the screen and the camera has saved my screen more than once. Great case and is easy to clean if needed.

Incredible tongs. Granted they are sized for smaller bar, but with a quick taper down to something I could grab, I can use these on practically any size bar. The handle has a good spring to it so I know I won't loose whatever material I am holding.They are my go to flat bit tongs and I hope to see more types of tongs in the future. holding. Are you still reading this?? Buy these tongs now you will not regret it.

I got this for my father-in-law who is just getting into knife making. He was using floor wax to finish his handles and is very excited to step his game up! I love the finish on the wood handles. I used it on my trout net and it's holding up to water, and heavy use. Great stuff!

Hi, I was surprised on how fast it was delivered not only that but the gorgeous Damascus pattern. I'm just starting out so I'm not going to use the steel just yet however, I will use it when I start to forge my first knife.

I experience in dealing with the Alec Steele company was great. I have not had a chance yet to construct a knife but I am excited about it. Would love to see a Bowie version

Michael W.

I was going to make on these until I saw that Alec Steele had them for sale. I'm glad I got one of his because there is no way I could have made one as sharp and aggressive as his version. I'm looking forward to using it soon with a hidden tang knife. As sharp as it is, it should cut my slot very quick in my handle material.

Alec, Thanks for making the hammers available again. My son (YouTube subscriber #25 to your channel) missed the first batch you made with Sam and the Pilkington in the dirt-floor'd shop. Always enjoy watching you work. OK - Less Yack Yack, more Whack Whack!

This one-of-a-kind shirt constantly reminds me to pay attention to the details, even with simple projects I've made over and over again. Thanks Alec! Keep up the great work... And don't forget the dimple!

DON’T FORGET THE DIMPLE TSHIRT

Rob H.

I had such a wonderful time watching Alec and the whole dimple thing was so funny when it happened. And Alec has such a great sense of humor to ask for designs and create a one time offering for the shirts. I had to get one to support him and remember that we all can make mistakes. It's how you react to that mistake which makes the man.

I have not been able to use it yet due to a shop expansion project but it have inspected it. It is solidly built and I’m looking forward to strapping it on my belt grinder soon!

Got as a pressie for my husband for Father’s Day… he loves it. I got small (as this was smallest size available), he normally opts for xs in this style but small is good for him. It looks great - will buy similar again

Oh man!!!! I love Alec Steele!!! And me and my kids love watching all of his videos. They love when Dad wears all five of his Alec Steele tshirts and hats! I am a woodworker and want to get into blacksmithing, and Alec and his merchandise is so motivating. Keep the cool T-shirt ideas coming. Woop!!!!

As a cheff I'm impressed with this knife, I always have used Wüsthof, this is lighter, nimbler and perfectly balanced, razor sharp and confortable handle. This is an initial review, in a couple of months of use and abuse in the restaurant I will tell you if I'm still in love with this great tool. saludos Jorge Vazquez

The Gallatin

Michael B.

I'm truly waiting for the first of these to appear in some competition some where as it makes the difficult task of contouring the inside of the handle for a hidden or through tang a breeze. It is both very nimble and exceptionally effective. The one caution I have is don't presume due to its small size and light weight that it won't move material quickly. It can and does.

Great knife. Had a problem with the first one and Alec and company too the time to fix my issue and I’m extremely happy with it. I can’t wait to continue to support this fantastic company and there products.

Jim L.

First time wife has had a real sharp and proper kitchen knife. A little afraid of loosing a finger tip but very happy. Brother in law who is a Red Seal Chef was very impressed. Good job😀 ! ! I’ve had nightmares waking from a dead sleep with it sticking out my back😫. So mental note: no fighting in the kitchen. Wife knows where all the weapons are. Hahaha Great job very happy and good value. UPS customs charges seemed a bit high but I think it’s there way of making a buck. Stay safe.

I love the hat and Alec's logo front and center. I'm not a Blacksmith or even in the arts. I'm an IT guy but I am impressed and happy to see this craft taken on by young artisans and fully support them. Alec and Team, keep up the good work and passion for your craft. Cheers!

I feel like I know Alex’s voice due to all the videos my husband watches. When I surprised him for his birthday with the Anvil it is hard to put into words how happy he is!!

Shipping was faster than expected and properly packaged. I didn't even know the Gallatin would come with a carrying case! The knife itself is super sharp and feels amazing. Outstanding design and manufacturing. Great job guys. Quick suggestion: the blade is so pointy and sharp the knife wants to poke through the zipper of the carrying case. It even damaged mine a little bit but it's an easy fix. It could be useful either reinforce the zipper or put something on the tip of the blade to as protect...

Everything was well packed and in good order. Still waiting on the rest of the grinder to get to use it but everything to do with dealing with the company itself is stellar so far.
