As an avid outdoorsman and Toronto Firefighter I rely on knives daily.
The limitations of factory knives became evident, and I began collecting
custom made knives. This lead to my passion which is creating my own
handmade knives.
Learning from veteran knife makers such as Murray St. Amour, Roger
Toner and George Tichbourne I developed my own distinct formula for
producing durable and esthetically pleasing knives which can endure
extreme conditions.
The demands by friends and colleagues for my custom designed knives
grew and through their encouragement I began offering my products to the
public in 1998 as a member of the
Canadian
Knifemakers Guild.
