I began making knives back in 2007 when I wanted to take a production sword and turn it into a pig sticker. I eventually put that aside and began working on getting a basic shop set up. Through the help of many friends in the knife making community I built a forge and used it for heat treating my knives. I also purchased the tools I needed to make a quality knife. Since then I have been working on knives in my free time. I have been working with CAD since 1999 and use it to design all my knives. I am currently attending college to learn the art of welding and get my advanced certification. In my free time I do some hunting, fishing, bowfishing, and target shooting.

I grew up in San Antonio, TX but have lived in Corpus Christi, TX since 2008. I learned how to make knives from many people in the knife making community and have visited a handful of them to learn some tips and tricks, including Johnny Stout, Don Morrow, Les George, and Luke Swenson. I wouldn't be where I'm at today without their help.

I began my knife making career with my bowfishing knife. It is the first knife of its kind and it was designed in collaberation with a lot of the bowfishing community. I have had this knife in the works since 2008.

Thanks for looking and I hope you find something here to add to your personal collection of quality knives.
