My knives are forged in my home shop using quality, high-carbon steel and the best handle material available.  

The knives I create are 'sole authorship', meaning I forge the blade, perform the heat treat, do the grinding and finishing, add and shape the handle, and create the leather sheath to hold it.

Why purchase a knife from me?

  • Every knife made by me is done to the highest quality possible.

  • Every knife is hand made and hand forged by me, bears my maker's mark, and is one of a kind.  Designs may be similar, but no two are exactly the same.

  • By the 1950's, only a handfull of bladesmiths still existed in the United States.  Purchasing a knife from me or any other maker helps ensure we don't risk losing this craft to history again.
