I would have to say Don Fogg. His website has helped me on numerous occasions. I love to look at his work on the site.

Man, there are so many great makers that I look up to it is a tough question. I would have to say Eldon Peterson, great folders. Bill Harsey, great fighters, and SR Johnson for his clean classic lines.

Makers


I agree with Les Herron is a great.
Wade Colter is a great maker. He is out there but he has the aura.

makers


I have had a lot of help from a lot of makers in my career. The ones who I have actually worked close with and who has had a lot of influence in my work are George Herron, Walter Brend, Tom Maringer, Jim Crowell and Harry McEvoy.

Re: makers


That is to hard to decide, as great knife maker is born with each great knife.

Two Makers!


Tim Herman and Bill Pease. Both do beautiful and original work. Now one of them
might be a little out spoken, but that's OK.

Stay Safe,
A.T.

Not only is he a great knifemaker, but a decent guitar player and a pretty good Dad!

There's a few that I really look up to...

Terry Primos, Joe Kious, Ed Caffrey, Josef Rusnak, and Antonio Montejano. Each one has their own unique sense of style and are all extremely tallented. If I could only be half as good as any of these fine makers....

There's alot of fine knifemakers out there, but these are my major influences.

1. Wayne Goddard.

Before reading his books I thought knifemaking was only for those guys who had a shop and all kinds of big fancy equipment. He's the guy who made me dig around in my fathers tiny little toolshed in the backyard and make a "knife" with what I had on hand. I emailed him a few times, and he answered all the questions I had. Nice guy.

2. Jens Anso

The first time I saw his knives is when I stumbled across his website. I was awe stricken. Jens makes the absolute coolest knives I've ever seen. The epitome of form and function. I also emailed him a few times. Very nice and helpful guy.

3. Terry Primos

His tutorials are excellent. He has the same effect on me as Wayne Goddard, making knifemaking seem more down to earth, and that's encouraging. Everyone has different tastes in what they like in knives, and Terry's knives have everything I look for.

Hmmm...

David Boye wrote the book that made me believe I could do it when I was 12 or 13 years old.

His knives are not the best, his methods aren't either. But his can-do attitude and inspiring book make him first on a long list of knifemakers I'd like to buy a drink.

All listed are my heros

Just about everyone that has been listed so far has had a impact on my knifemaking career. However, the Esteemed Dr. Jim Lucie, on my left, has had the most influence. In a very short period of time, I learned more from this person than I could have read or done myself in years. He is a Scagel expert, and was also his physician. His willingness to share is almost unequaled. Why do I say "almost"? Because recently, another expert has been helping me with yet another phase that's involved with knives, and that's Paul Long, for his expert help in my sheathmaking. Thanks to these two fine gentlemen, my abilities in knife and sheath work has taken a noticeable change for the better. I posted a photo of Paul several days ago, and here's Dr. Lucie.
