About the Maker |
|
I started my first knife in 1988 as a senior in High School. My Metal Shop teacher read an article and thought I might be interested. He sent me to talk to Steve Keeslar to help get started. Steve encouraged me and offered advice to keep me going. But I didn’t finish the knife before graduation. The knife was packed away and forgotten about while I was in the Coast Guard for the next 4 and a half years. When I came home I found and finished it. Since then I have attended several ABS Hammer-ins in Michigan and Ohio. The ABS is an excellent organization. In March of 2006 I passed my performance test under the direction of Joe Keeslar. In 2007 I attended the Blade Show with my 5 finished knives and passed the review by 6 Master Smiths to become an ABS Journeyman Smith.
I am a part time maker with no plans of going full time unless I win the lottery My wife and son are very supporting.
My goal is to provide quality knives at a fair price.
I also feel service and communication are important to this Business. |
