My Background
My style embraces the beauty and simplicity of traditional designs. My knives are forged using mono-steel and a variety of Damascus patterns, which I also create. My favorite steel is 5160 and I typically use 15N20 Nickel Silver for a flash of color in my Damascus.
My knives are sole authored. I create all the fittings and sculpt handles

My knives are sole authored. I create all the fittings and sculpt handles for my knives from a variety of materials. I also make a sheath for each knife from quality leather in traditional styles.
