"Dale's field knife is the only one I've never had re-sharpened. Thirteen months of daily use."

Dale Merritt
I'm a third-generation farrier turned bladesmith. I don't use CNC machines, and I don't outsource my leatherwork.
When you order from me, you're not buying a brand. You're commissioning a craftsman. That means it takes time, it costs what it costs, and it comes with a handshake.
