Introduction

Update, June 2012: I’m moving to a new shop in uptown Butte. Please bear with me as I remodel and get everything set up. I am looking to be back up and making blades by the beginning of August.

About Me

I specialize in making small wood boxes, custom blades, and aftermarket knife modifications. I enjoy doing interesting work with nice materials. When I’m not in the shop I’m usually out climbing something.

I get a lot of joy from seeing a box take shape on the workbench. I never know exactly how each box will look until it’s complete. I try not to limit myself in terms of materials or techniques; anything interesting goes. I treat my boxes more as sculptures than as constructions. I start with a single idea or a piece of wood, and let the design flow from there. The result is something truly unique that I can be proud of.

I started making and modifying knives as a way to use small pieces of leftover lumber. It has since turned into a craft of its own. While I have made a few prototype knives from scratch, most of my knife work is on production models. I take pride in my ability to improve a knife by making a handle that fits the user; in style and in hand. A good knife is a tool you will enjoy using everyday. My job is to create great blades and make your current favorites even better.
