Part time Blade Smith, Ex-cop who 'Loves nature and being in the bush.'

'Many years ago I attended a local knife exhibition, and the knife making bug came rushing back, stronger than ever before.

I slowly started a new career, attended my first Stuart Smith's knife making course, and two weeks later I was making my first decent real knife.

I chose forging above stock removal as I like doing things from scratch, and started also building my own forge.

All my blades are selectively hardened to ensure a good cutting edge while retaining strength and flexibility.

I tend use natural handle material, most of it being African hard woods, stabilized if needed.'
