One Makers Philosophy

I have been deeply involved with this art form approaching thirty years. I have watched allot of great talent come and go. I have made this business my life's work.. My mind is set on one goal . That goal is to produce the finest knife I can make. I will research materials and techniques that can be applied to my work giving my customer the best bang for the buck. I have moved from hand tools to high Tech machinery then back to hand tools. I will use any tool or machine to make my work the best that it can be. When you buy one of my knives I expect it to be the best I can produce. I have found through the years the more knowledge I acquire makes me realize how little I know. I have been on the cutting edge of innovation in Damascus steel for many years. I have spent countless hours sharing my hard earned knowledge with many of the top makers of Damascus blades in the business today. The return of hard earned knowledge from these very creative people keeps my cup running over with new ideas and advice on new projects.. The knife making community in the USA  shares more information in twenty minutes that gets past else where in twenty years. I cant wait to see what the future holds.
