        Michael Quesenberry has been a knife maker since 2005. He is an active member of the American Bladesmith Society. In May of 2009 he received his “Journeyman” bladesmith stamp at the Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia.

In May of 2014 he earned his “Mastersmith” stamp at the Bladeshow in Atlanta, Georgia. Along with his stamp he received the BR Hughes award for the best Mastersmith knife presented.


        The majority of his knives are forged, but on occasion he will do stock removal on stainless steel at a customer’s request. From forging the steel to leather work, Michael enjoys the process of creating a one-of-a-kind piece. Everything is done “In-house”, including Damascus, heat treating, and cryogenic treatment.
