Sole authorship fancy mosaic damascus folders and straight knives.  I'm best known for my figural or "narrative" damascus with people, animals, and scenery, all done without CNC, laser or any other outside aids.

I started making knives because I wanted a new hunting knife and was too cheap to buy one.  This is my fifth year doing shows.  I've won some awards along the way, but am still chasing the one I really want.  Best Damascus/Best of Show.
