I made my first knife in 1967; it was a folder with two blades. I have made and sold many knives since then. My wife and I live in the mountains of Fort Davis, Texas. I refer to my shop location as the only mile high knife shop that I know of in Texas. 

I use Stainless Damascus, 154CPM and ATS34. For my folding knives, I use titanium for what’s known as the “liners”. I design and cut my blades using the “stock removal” method. This literally means removing excess material from a piece of steel using files, grinders, etc. until the steel has the blade shape I desire.

My blades are hardened/heat-treated by one of the most well-known people in the business: Paul Bos. Paul does the heat-treating for Buck Knives, as well as many other custom knife makers.

A wide variety of high-tech, durable handle materials are used giving each knife its own one-of-a-kind look and feel. For the handles, also referred to as scales, I use Fossil Mammoth Ivory, Premium Mother of Pearl, Black Lip Pearl, Burl Ironwood and Giraffe Bone, etc. Fossil Mammoth Ivory is found in Siberia and Alaska during the spring and summer. It is between 10,000 and 50,000 years old, possibly older. No ban exists on this Ivory since the Mammoths have been extinct for thousands of years.

The Stainless Damascus knife is a handcrafted work of art that doubles as a practical tool. Stainless Damascus has integrity with a great cutting edge while being resistant to corrosion.  No two knives are the same; they are tough, unique, and a joy to own. Possessing both incredible durability and great beauty, the Stainless Damascus is a material that will last for generations.

Each of my knives is signed and numbered. Included with each knife is a Certificate of Authenticity. Each knife will come equipped with a handcrafted leather sheath.
