I have been making custom knives since November of 2014 in my home shop in Sarasota, Florida.
Whether it be my original design, or a reproduction from old Sheffield, England, I strive to make each knife it's own work of art that is not only beautiful, but functionally precise. The challenge of blending aesthetics and utility is part of what drives my passion for making pocket knives, and continues to push me to advance in my craft. I strive for the best, and that is all I can hope to put out there.
In the summer of 2019 I was honored with the "Best New Maker" award at the Blade Show.
In October of 2022 I was awarded "Best Custom Slip Joint" at Blade Show West.
INSPIRATION: The Barracuda was designed as a gentleman’s knife, drawing inspiration from traditional slimline trappers and the aesthetic of Japanese kwaiken (or kaiken) daggers. The aim was to create a slim knife with a classic feel and a modern twist. They also serve as the perfect folding steak knife.
