First knife in 1998. I am a full time maker apprenticed under ABS Master Smith Wally Hayes.

I forge my own Damascus, cable, 1084/15n20, 01/mild. Most of my knives are made with 1/4 inch tool steels depending on what I’m trying to achieve. They vary. Mostly 01 tool steel, some 1084, and lately some out of W2.

Knives start at $200 and up depending on the knife. All knives are custom made to my specifications. Contact me to discuss your unique knife and what it will cost.

I accept PayPal. Please contact me for instructions.

RP before 2007. RIP 2007 to present. Etched R.I.P. Tombstone on some knives if not stamped before hardening.
