  Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my work.				
My experience in metal work begins as a teenager in Europe. 
I am now a full-time knifemaker living in upstate New York. 
I'm a voting member of the 
Knife Makers Guild and an 
American BladeSmith Society 
"Master Smith".  My work has won several awards 
over the past years and has been featured
in "Blade Magazine"
I am proud to have had one of my pieces featured on the cover of the 
"Knives '99 Annual" and the cover of the Dec 2000 issue of "Blade".

        KnifeMaking Classes 
       MAKE A THROWING AXE
 I will be offering a 3 day course in forging a throwing axe or tomahawk 
	at the  Adirondack Folk School
	in beautiful Lake Luzerne, NY  (near Lake George).
 
       Join us Friday May 2 - Sunday May 4, 2025 to gain hands-on experience at the forge.
	Learn how to forge weld. Proper balance of axe head and haft will be stressed.

I am honored to serve as BLADE Magazine field editor and to co-author their monthly "Question & Answer" column with ABS master smith Wayne Goddard.
 
Most of my knives and tomahawks are one-of-a-kind designs some with 
carvings in ivory, pearl and damascus steel. All my knives and hawks 
are functional working pieces, most are differentially heat treated 
and triple quenched.
They will perform extremely well for their intended tasks. 
Pictured on these pages is a sampling of these works, along with information 
on currently available pieces. 
I also offer a few 
standard designs,
made by myself, with the same care and patience as my one-of-a-kind pieces. 
 Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  I will do my best
to provide a knife that lives up to your expectations.
