Been a good year so far. Lots of fun stuff coming up in what's left of 2019! I'm down to 205 lbs and have been holding there for a year now. I feel better than I have in a long, long time!
​
Upcoming Knife Events:
​
We have the Grudge Match out in Pigeon Forge, TN coming up September 27-29th, hosted at Robby Bowman's place ( The Grudge Match ) I'll be there with about 40 other FiF smiths. After that, here locally we have the Texas Knife Show held in Conroe, TX November 16th ( Texas Custom Knife Show ).
​
I've added several of my latest knives to the page so be sure and scroll through the gallery for those. Lots of daggers and big blades. I'm about to do quite a few bird and trout knives with pearl, ivory and cool fittings.
​
If are the gentleman who ordered a pair of matching tanto knives, please contact me via the contact form on this site. I am missing contact info for you since I moved. I need to get your knives to you!
​
Be sure and check me out on the History Channel's series Forged in Fire, Season 4 - Episode 15, aired August 8th 2017, but I'm still in reruns sometimes! After creating a double edged dagger from canister damascus, I built a Gladiator's Scissor weapon as the finale and was named champion of that episode. The whole experience was a blast! Click on the "Knifemaking" tab above to go to the page where I show how I built the Gladiator weapon.
​
I'm an avid medieval re-enactor, knifemaker, armourer, gunbuilder, cannoneer, father of three, husband, certified health physicist and environmental nuclear engineer!

Thanks
