I have been interested in knives for as long as I can remember.  Growing up in Texas, I have been a knife "accumulator" all my life. 

I made my first knife in 1984 from a piece of annealed 01 tool steel, using a hacksaw to cut out the profile, a large file to shape the bevels, and heat treated it with a torch.  Since that time I have made and sold hundreds of knives, although I no longer use only a hacksaw, file, and torch as my primary equipment!

My knives are presently in over 16 states in the U.S., and in at least 4 other countries.  I have made knives for people from all walks of life.  I enjoy making knives, and I enjoy hearing from my customers.
