Hi folks! I'm a familiar face to anyone who involves themselves on the CKD forums, and I simply love the knife world. This little slogan above, which I display in my posts and on my website comes from the heart.

Having first-hand opportunity to handle some of the finest knives in the world has also allowed me to talk to some of the finest PEOPLE in the world. Folks mostly like you and me. The internet has been tremendously good for me. I primarily work on photographing custom knives, and have learned a great deal by asking questions, reading information, and simply enjoying other's work. We all should use the internet to prepare for purchases and to outright sell and trade knives. Here's why my work is so important:

Without having a knife in-hand, the two-dimensional image is our second-best chance. For any sale to take place from a photograph, it is imperative that we form a picture that creates a desire for the knife. Simply showing any fuzzy dim profile is not fulfilling enough to lure the buyer into an emotional purchase. Remember: few people need a Custom Knife--they must want it! Smart knifemakers chronicle their work for portfolios, publications, and to ensure future sales. Collectors rotate their pieces often, and need good records for resale or insurance. Having a clear image of any good piece will be a record that can be sent anywhere in the world, residing in a portfolio of other work, or even hung on a wall. 

I live in Norwalk, CT with my lovely and supportive wife Susan, and we have a toddler 'knife-nut-to-be' named Trevor. Most importantly, we both love the many fine folks that we have met through this work.

Look inside my site for a more in-depth bio page, and you will also find sections on my own collection of amazing pieces, my involvement and support of the kit knives that are currently produced, and more in-depth info and guidelines on photography. I look forward to a conversation with you sometime soon!
