My first few knives were blades from Indian Ridge Traders in the early 1970s. Then I moved to grinding plainer blades. In 1986 I started forging and attended forging clinics. I joined the ABS in 1999 and passed my Journeyman test in 2003. I like to make bowies with wood sheaths that have tips and throats as well as daggers and hunter styles.
