I started making custom knives in 1988 and became a full–time knifemaker in April 2002. I endeavor to create high quality knives using the finest materials and time-proven construction techniques. Each process is handcrafted by me, and I do my own heat treating. The blades are ground from bar stock from a variety of steels. Currently, I am focusing on wedge locks (my own design) and lock backs with high-end materials such lapidary and black lip pearl handle inlays.
Knifemaker Tom Overeynder has given me invaluable guidance over the years and has become a good friend. I have met a number of knifemakers over the years who have shared their knowledge of knifemaking and I would like to thank each of them.

If you are not completely satisfied with a knife you have purchased from me, please return the undamaged knife to me (post-paid and insured) within 30 days for a complete refund. I will repair any defects in workmanship for the original purchaser, as long as I am able to work. Because of the nature of natural handle materials, I can guarantee these materials only at time of delivery.
