Greetings and thank you for viewing my site.

"First i'd like to tell you a little about myself. I've been fascinated with knives ever since I was a young boy. I enjoy collecting and using knives. I'm an avid hunter and have a passion for the outdoors. This is where I enjoy using knives the most. Whether it be hunting or being a woods bum.
I consider myself an edged toolmaker. Reason being, I feel what I make are cutting tools for those who depend on their equipment while in the field.
I make knives by way of the stock removal method. My style is set towards the hunter, survivalist or outdoor enthusiast. I make them full tang for extra strength when doing big game processing, heavy cutting, chopping or batoning through seasoned wood. I prefer natural handle materials like stag bone and horn.  I like exotic hardwoods like mesquite, desert ironwood and maple. I also use micarta for the ultimate in durability.  At present I use several types of steel. I prefer carbon steels such as A2 and O1 for large camp knives knives and use A2, O1 and D2 for medium to small knives for personal survival kits, hunting and general field use knives. My prefered grind is the convex grind. I feel this is the strongest of the three grinds, flat, hollow and convex. In my experience, maintainance and resharpening is very easy. All my work is freehand, one knife at a time. I do all work inhouse and outsource nothing. I do all my own heat treating and tempering. I do all my own sheathwork using top grade 8-9 oz. vegatable tanned cowhide.

My equipment consists of a 2x72 KMG belt grinder, 2x48 K-Cut belt grinder, drill press, Grizzly mini milling machine, Baldor buffer, verical/horizonal band saw, Dremel rotary tool, hammers, files, other various hand tools and a Johnson Gas and Appliance atmoshpereic heat treating furnace.
I hope you will consider putting one of my blades to use on your next hunting trip or outdoor adventure."
