Over thirty years ago, Tim began making knives in his grandfather's backyard with a bench top grinder. He realized knife making was his passion, and explored many techniques to bring you the perfected quality handmade knives you see today. All of the knives are cut, shaped, and polished by hand. Each knife takes an average of 40 hours to make, and no two are exactly alike. Although partial to granite, Tim also uses Micarta, Kirinite, and natural woods to create his quality knife handles. Unique handmade wooden sheaths are also part of his craftsmanship. These sheaths take five hours to create. All knives are individually heat-treated and are backed by a lifetime guarantee. The blades are rigorously tested before being offered for sale.
