Bad Attitude Blades is a resource of Bad Attitude Farm and Forge LLC of Waddy, Kentucky. This is a fancy way of saying our family created a business from which to make my husband's custom knives, swords, and other cutlery available to the public.

Bad Attitude Blades is far more than business, it is a vehicle for recovery. On June 22, 2006 my husband was involved in an accident which left him with a traumatic brain injury. During that accident, his successful 13 year old retail establishment was destroyed. As a result of the head trauma, his career as a professional author was over. Prior to he accident, my husband had authored 8 books and spoke at a university leval. Today, he makes handmade knives, swords, and other cutlery. Although society tends to think less of a man who makes a living with his hands rather than his mind, we feel this is a step forward rather than back. Like the books that he wrote and the retail establishment he created, custom knives, swords, and cutlery are an artistic expression. What the accident changed was the way my husband expresses that which his muse insists.
