I love the art of making knives. I am passionate about high quality workmanship, and I am always excited to see the wood handles and the Damascus blades come to life as I hone and polish them. It gives me great pleasure to see my satisfied customers as they admire and hold thier knives for the first time. I have valued high quality knives and collected them for over 30 years, so I consider myself a qualified knife expert. My knives are collectible usable art. My artistic, collectible knives are fully functional and can be used in your every day activities. Each of my knives is hand crafted with high quality materials, and my commitment to fine craftsmanship can be seen by my strict attention to fine details in every knife. The perfect knife requires excellent balance between the handle and the blade, and I make sure that each knife is perfectly balanced. I specialize in Damascus blades; both Japanese San Mai Damascus and European Forge Welded Damascus. I buy completed or partially completed knife blade blanks, and add an exotic wood, horn, antler, or other custom handle. My knives are very unique and I hand craft each one in my shop located in Boulder, Colorado.
