PRIMITIVE KNIVES

     Eighteenth and nineteenth century America have been a passionate interest to me my whole life.  The clothes, tools, weapons and lifestyles of both the natives and the immigrants of this land fascinate me.  It was this fascination that led me to blacksmithing.

     Today, most of my forge work is focused towards contemporary artistic furnishings for the home.  However, I still take time to re-create pieces that reflect our rich history.

     The American frontiers of the 18th and 19th centuries were both demanding and remote.  The common work-a-day knife of the hunter, trapper and pioneer was often not crafted by a knife maker, but rather hastily made by the common blacksmith using simple materials on hand.
