Welcome, Guest
I made my fist knife in 1975 for a school project. When I finished putting the edge on the blade, I knew I had found my lifetime trade. My approach to knifemaking differs from that of most contemporary makers. Specializing in hand forged high carbon steels, I individually create original designs and historical reproductions reminiscent of Frontier and Pioneer America.
I use a selective tempering process that assures flexibility and strength, as well as a good hard edge. Every handle is specially designed to complement the balance and appearance of it's respective blade. My goal is that my work provides unfailing performance to the user, while preserving the artistry and tradition of our founding fathers. I work to produce a knife that will be a treasured possession and, like the quality tools of our forefathers, will be a legacy to your family for generations to come.
Leather work on my knives is done by Karen Shook.
