About Us

As far back as I can remember I’ve worked with my hands
creating different forms of art; drawing, sculpting, tattooing,
jewelry making, carving and others.

As a 28-year aerospace prototype fabricator welder, I have
enjoyed creating things with metal from scratch. I started
attending knife shows, reading any book I could and questioned
many seasoned masters of the knife making art whom
encouraged me to follow my love of art and creating.

I attended my first Badger Knife Show (1998) and was
honored with the “Judge’s Award for Artistry” as well as a few
awards within the NCCA Organization and local shows.

Winning these awards fueled my desire to learn more and
become a member of the coveted Knife maker’s Guild, which I
achieved in 2002. Thanks to the help of masters like
Joe Szilaski, Jim Siska, Larry Lund and Tom McCluin to name a
few.

At the Las Vegas Antique Arms & Shot Show my work was
displayed for Colt Gun Company. I’ve been featured on the
cover of Knives 2004, in Knife World and Guns Magazine.

I specialize in art knives of all types. My favorite knives are
Sub-Hilt Fighters. Common blade steels are 1095, 01, carbon
Damascus, ATS34, and others. The preferred handle materials
are ivory, exotic woods, pearl or other natural materials. I
embellish my work with file work, scrimshaw, engraving, stone
settings and hand-tooled sheaths using hand-made chisels and
other tools. All my work is sole authorship. My prices range
from $350 and up.
