Hey guys! I'm the new guy here but I have been making knives for about 4 years now. I was told about this site the other day by some fellow hunters so thought I'd check it out! I see some familiar names here, Bob Jankowski, Mike Conner, and Chops! Anyway, I'm a coach/teacher in Henrietta, TX and a knifemaker in my freetime! I teach Spanish and coach football, girls basketball and golf. My wife is also a coach and we have 2 daughters, my oldest will be a soph and my youngest will be going into 6th grade. So THATS my introduction, now to see if I can load a few pics!haha Looking forward to browsing around all the info here!!

Very nice looking knives and Welcome to the forum. Do you have a website?

Beautiful work sir, glad to have you and look forward to seeing your work.

Very nice work!

I was wondering when you were coming around Ben... Glad you made it here. You know I love your work

Thanks guys, I appreciate the welcome! I'm trying to figure out which sponsorship I need to purchase so I'm able to sell my knives here. (I don't wanna be stepping on anyone's toes!) I'll update my info with my website when I'm able to get that done!

Just a little more history on me... bjankowski is one of the reasons that I'm making knives now! Thank you Bob! I saw some of his knives on a different website a few years ago and just decided to jump in and see what I could do! I've been fortunate to meet lots of great makers and ask LOTS of questions to get me to where I am today!

All of my knives are 100% done by me in my little garage shop, including the hand sewn leather sheaths. I make mostly EDC/hunting fixed blades, but also do kitchen knives, filet knives, and slip-joint pocket knives.

Beautiful knives. Welcome to THf.

Some excellent work you posted.

If my wife knew you were here now, she would try to have you knocked off, LOL!

Become an active member and you can start selling. Not expensive.

Thank you brother for the nice words; I appreciate it... Did you manage to get your daughters wisdom teeth taken care of? Poor baby.

Very nice work too Sir.

Great looking knives. And welcome to the THF.

Greetings and salutations
