                  I began making knives part time in 
                 1992.   In 2001, I retired
and began making knives full-time. 
                  I'm now working  part time but continue to make 
                 knives.  Using the stock removal method, I make small and medium
hunters, locking liners,  lockbacks, and interframe folders.
 I use ATS-34 stainless steel, stainless damascus, and                  Paul Bos Heat Treating for most models but will consider other steel upon request. 
                 The blades are hollow ground and most often mirror polished.
 On most locking liner                  types I satin finish the blades and
bolsters. 
                  I especially enjoy handles made from exquisite, exhibition
 hardwoods but use sambar stag (when available), mammoth ivory, African elephant
ivory, alternate ivory and other materials on                  request. 
The bolsters and guards are made of nickel silver, mokume, or mosaic damascus. 
                 Each hunter comes with a custom fitted leather sheath that
I make for the knife.  Each                  interframe folder frame is made
of 416 stainless.  Black-lipped mother-of-pearl is my                  favorite
insert material for the interframe folders that are high-polished and   
              supplied with a protective slip case. 
                   
                  With proper care, my knives will last a lifetime.  Delivery
time for custom orders is                  currently 9-12 months.  Please
write or call for further information.
