I have been involved in the BladeSports and Knifemakers Guild cutting competition during the last two years.

As a result of designing and making the cutters, I have gained extensive knowledge in testing of blade steels, developing heat-treating processes and edge geometry for various uses.

After completing for over two years and winning the championship in 2007 and 2008, I have retired from the cutting competitions. I have enjoyed the experience and will continue to act as an official at BladeSports competitions, assist at the Texas cutting school, etc. – and possibly defend my record rope and water bottle cuts.

I would like to give Spyderco a special thank you for their sponsorship of me during my last two years of competition and for their support of BladeSports International, Inc.
