The Lone Star Knife Expo is next weekend, April 8 and 9, at Market Hall in Dallas. We will have over 50 tables of custom knife makers, including Johnny Stout, Bill Ruple, Jerry Moen, Travis Payne, and myself among others. Jantz will be there with supplies, and Terry Dunn will be there with excellent stabilized wood.

The show has been going for five or six years now, and is the largest knife show in Texas. Hope some of you can make it out.

Because my wife had twins March 6, I've been a little busy, LOL. I will be bringing a bunch of kitchen knives, so that I won't have to stop and make sheaths. Here's a 12" Western-style chef knife, with dovetail bolsters and a tapered tang, and 154 CM with maple burl. I will have this one along side several other chef knives in both Western and Santoku style, a couple of pettys, and a few hunters left over from a previous show.

See you there

Great looking cutlery there! And congratz on the twins!! You know they gave me a book on raising multiples - I said no we had twins and they shook their head and said read the book!!

Jerry Moen makes a really beautiful knife although pricey. His son Kyle does too.

My daughter and I have two of Jerry's very first knives, made when he first started. Never use them, just for collecting.

Here's the final kitchen batch. I will have a Texas themed Bowie and a couple of hunters as well.
