sbasscase,
So, you would recommend them? Looks like they are a bit cheaper than some of the others I have seen. Is your preferred routine like those described in the Daryl set? -erik |

Erik,
Yes, I recommend them. They will take a little more work, than other knives, because they are much flatter. After practicing, though, I do the "move" flawlessly, with no problems at all. As for the routine, mine is pretty similar to Daryl's, but there were a few displays and things that I didn't like, so I changed them. It is definitely based on the Daryl routine, though. It goes over incredibly well in performance. I was surprised at how people love this routine. I never expected it to be in my "A" list, but it is. Great product! Eric

Daryls knives are very good. I also ordered a cheap set for about 10$ and they were suprisingly good. I can´t remember the manufacturer just now.

I used to really like the Enardoe knives, but the Mogar knives are easier to handle, and are available in a ton of colors and sizes (mini and jumbo).
Don't the Daryl knives have a "thumbprint"? This may limit the universality of the routine, but certainly makes it unique! I also agree about the Merrill Knives. The fit and finish of the Pakistan series is also not as good as the original. The Merrill Knife book is also a good reference. Doug Atkinson |

Mogar's are by far the best. I still like using the standard set better.
????.....Yeah

Well, I am convinced.
I ordered today Joe Mogar's new limited edition bone handle knife set. Joe tells me I will love them. UPDATE: Feb 27, 2003 Feedback Time: I received the new bone handle knife set from Joe Mogar two days ago and the workmanship and balance on these knives are superb. I tend to be very picky and actually took a while to order them because I was repeatedly having second thought. But after I saw and handled these babies....WOW! |

Ray Szwac sent me e-mail about a Hot Rod color changing knife he had made by Joe Mogar. You can buy it from either Joe or from Ray's site at http://www.hotrodknife.com. Ray has a nice move on the demo video there as well.

Before a lot of knives came on the market I went to a knife shop, one that did repairs, picked out the knives I wanted and had the technician remount and modify them for me. They were and still are just fine.
I also have the York set and Tamariz ones somewhere around here!!

I have used the Daryl knifes as refered to above. DO NOT buy any without trying them first. Most magi find them too thick and clumsy.

I use Daryl's knife set with great success. However, previous comments regarding the knife and difficulty with "the move" are correct. BUT, very little practice and it is doable. Just make sure hands/fingers are not too dry. I like his routine and the thumbprint climax is a killer.

I have a set of Merrill knives and some English knives - but I'm currently working on having a set made for me that are going to be killer.
But as far as released versions, I can't think of anything that compares to the Merrill knives. Matt |

Scott,
The Whit Hayden knives are made by Joe Mogar. I specifically asked Joe this question and he verified that he made those knives. In fact, the reason I contacted Joe was because I found a mention of the "stag handle" knives on Joe's site and I was wondering if they were similar to Whit Hayden knives or were the exact Whit Hayden knives. He confirmed that they are made by him and were the exact Whit Hayden knives. He also confirmed that the only difference between the stag handle (Whit's) and the bone (Joe's) is that the bone is more expensive to buy and to work with--hence the additionall $20.00 cost per set. See these URLs: Bone: Click Here! Stag: Click Here! Hope this helps. Turk

I had a set of knives, and changed mine so that the gimmicked knife now has walnut wood on it, for a very visual change.
It's not the size of the wand,

I just purchased the Mogar knives. They are very well made. There is a good routine that comes with it. I combined this with Bill Malone's routine. ..
