I am passionate about the folding knife and always working to improve its basic functionality. As it has grown over the years I have tried to infuse my work with new technology to make each knife better than the last. I try to break new ground with each new design and I've done things that hadn't been done before and things that others said couldn't be done. These developments sprang from the continuing effort to make knives easier to use, more capable and more.

Founded in 1993, the Professional Knifemakers Association, Inc. (PKA) is a nonprofit professional organization with members throughout the world. PKA members are professional knifemakers, purveyors of custom knives, and suppliers to the trade, who derive a significant part of their income from the making and sale of handcrafted knives. The purpose of the PKA is to elevate awareness of the art and science of handcrafted knives, provide educational opportunities for those interested in making custom knives, and to promote the commercial and representational interests of its membership.

After almost a lifetime of being a knife lover and user, both as a sportsman and novice repairman, I began making knives in 1983, and became a full time Bladesmith in 1992. This site is intended to show the versatility and quality of my work
