I have lived most of my adult life here in Branson, Mo. where I reside still today. I gained my love of building knives over thirty years ago while an apprentise blacksmith and hammered a file into my first blade. Though it was a crude looking affair, I wish that I still had that knife today.

In 1999 I finally decided to quit my job in order to become a full time knife maker. I now work full time in a small one-man shop here in the Missouri Ozarks where I continue to build each knife by hand one at a time.

I like to do all aspects of the knife construction personally including my own heat treating in order to insure consistent quality of every knife that comes out of my shop.
