Handmade Knives

Using ancient and exotic, as well as state of the art materials, I offer many fine folding knives with various locking mechanisms, to include lockback, automatic, and my specialty, Gents’ Fine Linerlock Folders, as well as various fixed blade designs. In my one man shop, each knife is built by me, one at a time, and made from a variety of  steels: carbon, stainless, and damascus…customers are welcome to choose their favorite. I remain committed to a highest level of attention to detail that is hard to find in the world today.
