We are a father and son team and we make folders (most types), hunters, and bowies. We forge all the carbon steels and make our own high carbon damascus from high carbon steels and 15N20. We make our own patterns and will also do customer patterns.

I started making knives part time in 1974 while working for the Fort Smith Fire Department. After I Retired in 1990, I started making knives full time. I am a member of the Arkansas Knifemakers Association, the American Bladesmith Society, and a member of the Knife Group Association. I was also in the Knifemakers Guild from 1980 -2002. I have passed the performance test for my Journeyman smith stamp in the ABS and will present my knives for acceptance at the Blade Show in Atlanta in 2004.

My favorite knives to make are damascus and automatics and Folders.

I made my first Knife as a young man in 1980. I had a very good teacher, my dad. I am a member of the Arkansas Knifemakers Association, the American Blade Smith Society, and the Knife Group Association. I have been working hard the last 4 years by going to shows and listening to people to see what they like. I would like to thank my friends for all their help. I try to improve with every knife I make and strive to make the best knife possible.I love to work with my hands.
