I am a fisherman/outdoorsman and I have been using and collecting knives all of my life. I know and understand what makes a knife perform properly for it’s intended use. I started collecting knives when I was five years old which led to the natural progression of becoming a custom knife maker in 1989. Over the years of knife making, I get influenced by fascinating natural materials, historical designs, and where tradition meets modern technology. I strive to put these concepts together in my knife making. I consider knife making an art form, and throughly enjoy putting knife materials together to blend form and function.
