Through
my varied personal and professional experiences I have
realized the tremendous value a properly constructed blade
may have. This is why so many of my resources have been
dedicated over the years to learning about and crafting
the best edged tools I possibly can. I obtained my Journeyman
Smith rating from the American Bladesmith Society in 2001
and I am currently working on earning my Master Smith
stamp.
I have a personal preference for blades that balance performance,
dependability, and aesthetics. My work is sole authorship.
I prefer natural materials for handles and work in high
carbon steel as well as forging my own damascus. Each
blade is hand forged before being further refined through
grinding and hand filing. Each blade is individually heat
treated and tested using methods that best suit the style
of blade and type of steel used. Abrasives are then used
to produce a hand rubbed finish. I gladly offer my work
to those who may want to share in what a great blade should
be. |
