Mechanisms are the key to my knives. Each knife is built and created around the mechanism.  The mechanisms I use in my knives are unique in the knife making world. At last count I have 29 different mechanisms including variations of a theme.

        I am a machinist by trade first, knife-maker by heart second. Special care to fit and finish, tolerances and detail are things I take pride in. I am constantly trying to improve and simplify giving equal weight to form and function.

        I make all my knives and every part of each knife with the exception of ball bearings and some coil springs. All my knives are made by my hands alone using manually operated hand tools and machinery. I have no CNC equipment whatsoever.

        People usually tell me that until they handle and operate my knives, they cannot be truly appreciated.
