Quality, Pride, Craftsmanship
Sole Authorship
I enjoy making knives and have been making them since 1989. When I started it was on a part-time basis.
I strive to make your knife a pleasure to use and one that you will be proud to own. I make the entire knife from start to finish which includes design, construction, embellishments, and heat treating. Nothing is farmed out to anyone else. I totally believe in the concept of "Sole Authorship". I custom handcraft a top quality hand sewn leather sheath for each knife that requires it, here again I do not farm out the sheath making end of the total knife package. When you buy a knife from me you can be assured it is made entirely by me and that it is of the highest quality.
I use the stock removal method to profile and grind the knives I make. The knife steels that I am now using are the CPM stainless steels or 440C, ATS-34, D2, A2, 5160, 01 or 1095. The steel choice for most knife styles is primarily mine but I will change it at the customers request.
I am a charter member of The Florida Knifemakers Association. I am also a member of the National Rifle Association, The American Bladesmith Society, Associate and the Kansas Custom Knifemakers Association
Favorite book is "The Science of Getting Rich", Author: Wallace D. Wattles
