About Me

I build custom knives in my shop in upstate New York. I use the stock removal method and every aspect of every build is performed by me, from steel selection and profiling, through grinding and heat treating, to handles and sheaths. Whether you need a knife in the kitchen or the great outdoors, I'm sure my knives will have you covered.

I am happy to customize any of my offerings to your liking, so if there is something special that you want, or if you have your own knife design that you want built, just let me know. I have an almost unlimited supply of exotic woods and man-made materials for handles, so if you can imagine it, I can probably make it.

Thanks for visiting,
Mike
