    I come from a metalworking family, have been collecting knives since I was a kid.
    I became interested in knives during my time as a working blacksmith specializing in architectural work- my wife had a favorite knife that she felt was "just right," but it wouldn't stay sharp and fell apart....when I made one for her out of real materials, she said, "Make a hundred!"
    That was my first good seller, and still a great favorite with my clientele.
    I do make some hunting and fighting knives on special request, but my main interest by far is culinary knives- no other type of knife gets used as much as a good cooking knife, and it's an extremely demanding (and competitive) niche- keeps me constantly challenged!
