| Hello!!! I thought you would like to know a little about the
knifemaker. I began making knives because of my passion/addiction to hunting/fishing and the outdoors.
The knife patterns which I make are based on my experience with using knives. I have had the extreme luck to be a 5-time (fly rod line class) International Game Fish Association World Record Holder, recipient of 4 (bow and arrow) Pope and Young Big Game Records, and 3 muzzle-loading records from the Longhunter Society. I find that using my knives is the best way that I can learn to make your knife even better.
Fit
and Finish
An
important characteristic that you need to consider is how the
knife feels in your hand. Some people think that a
one-pound huge knife makes the job easier. But if you think
about it, a lighter, more balanced knife, with a more
comfortable handle is a whole lot easier on your hand and
results in less hand fatigue especially if you have lots of
skinning or cutting to do. I also add Fancy
Filework to all knives-- the file work on top
helps with slippage and aids in control greatly.
