Ron's
career as a knife maker began in 1970 when he made his
first knife from scrap metal in highschool shop class.
Although crude by today's standards, it was a worker.
Ron's love of knives and
his knowledge of knifemaking has grown ever since. His
greatest satisfaction is placing his work into the hands
of those that truly appreciate handmade knives.

"My goal is to always make the best knife that
can be made by man and machine. A knife that looks,
feels, and functions like a fine tool should.
As a member of the (ABS) American Bladesmith Society,
I strive to keep up to date with the latest steels that
might improve overall blade performance. I work with
Stainless, high carbon, and make my own Damascus. All
my blades except stainless steel are hand forged. All
knives are sold complete with a custom fitted heavy
leather sheath."

The love of outdoors isn't resticted to just Ron. This
is a whole family affair. You can tell his beautiful
daughter, Samantha, is a first class hunter herself.

Ron's daughter, Lacey, is part of the business as well,
doing all the leather work.
(Hey Boys! before you rush to the phone, just remember
what Lacey's dad does for a living ... not to mention
his hobbies.)
