I have been interested in knives since I was a kid and have been making knives for a few years now.
I was born and raised in the Green Mountains of Vermont and have been hunting since I was old enough
to keep up with my Father in the woods.

I spend many hours in the outdoors between fly fishing during the summer and hunting in the fall.

I started out getting blades from different suppliers and doing the furniture work on them. A few years ago
I bought a video on how to forge blades by Frank Garland. Since that time I have been hand forging all
of my blades using mainly old coil springs from cars or trucks. I now use new 52100 round stock that I get
from Admiral Steel..

I forge each blade to shape then clean and grind the blade to final shape. Next I heat treat and hand sand
the blade before I fit them for their handle.

For the last 21 years my full time occupation has been as a nurse.

Each of the knives below are forged from 52100 steel and fitted with an antler handle. I also make my own knife sheaths

I sell many of my knives and also trade them for more handle materials like wood or antlers.
