Handmade & Hand Forged Knives
by an American Veteran
Bad Attitude Blades.
‘Do you have a bad attitude?‘
I am creating new knives. New designs. New materials. New legs. But I am also recovering from major surgery, setting up a new shop and learning to walk with prosthetic legs. The surgeons took both below the knees. It is slow going. Rather than add more work to my efforts, I have decided to dedicate my efforts to rebuilding my body of work.
During the two months of the 2023 Kentucky Highland Renaissance Festival, I forged out a good amount of blades. Among these blades are Damascus, San Mai, Go Mai, and other styles of steel. These are the first knives I forged since becoming a double amputee knife maker. I will finish these knives between seasons 2023 and 2024. They will be available during the 2024 season.
June 1st – July 21st, 2024
