I began making knives in the mid 80’s. Starting out, I studied under two well known Texas makers, J.B. Moore and Weldon Whitley. I began making Fixed Blade Hunters and Skinners for the first few years, and finally tried my hand at folders, which is my true passion. I tried my hand at forging for a few years, but found out that it wasn’t for me, and stuck to stock removal.
我在 80 年代中期開始製作刀具。 一開始,我師從兩位著名的德克薩斯製造商,J.B. Moore 和 Weldon Whitley。 最初幾年我開始製作 Fixed Blade Hunters 和 Skinners,最後嘗試折刀,這是我真正的熱情。 我嘗試了幾年的鍛造,但發現它不適合我,並堅持進行切削。
I’m a former member of the Knifemakers Guild, and current a member of the American Bladesmith Society, and Texas Knifemakers Guild.
我是 Knifemakers Guild 的前成員,現在是 American Bladesmith Society 和 Texas Knifemakers Guild 的成員。
Today, I build several different mechanisms…Lockbacks, Slipjoints, Linerlocks, and have evolved into building highend Double Action Liner Lock Autos.
今天,我構建了幾種不同的機制……Lockbacks、Slipjoints、Linerlocks,並已發展成為構建高階雙動 Liner Lock Autos。
I use a variety of materials…my favorite blade material is damascus, which I commission to professional Bladesmiths to forge for me. For handle materials I prefer Mammoth ivory, Mother of Pearl, and several semiprecious materials.
我使用各種材料……我最喜歡的刀片材料是大馬士革,我委託專業的刀匠為我鍛造。 對於手柄材料,我更喜歡猛獁象牙、珍珠母和幾種半寶石材料。
I have been teaching various knifemaking classes, for about the past 10-15 years, at my home shop. Classes include Fixed blade, Lockback, Slipjoint, and Flipper classes. Classes are limited to two students per class, and I average about 10-12 students over the year.
在過去的 10-15 年裡,我一直在我的家庭商店教授各種制刀課程。 包括固定刀片、Lockback、Slipjoint 和 Flipper 類。 每班僅限兩個學生,我一年平均大約有 10-12 名學生。
