Amish Made Knives

[Jim Adams Customs]

I have started hanging out with Sam Stoner, an Amish Knifemaker. We have large Amish community here. Sam uses no electricity. He has a full machine shop is what he does when he isn't making knives. Everything is run off a pulley system that is run by horses on a Tread mill. Sam did these three knives. I thought I would share. He also makes a great Damascus.

Thats pretty interesting, if you are not the horse on the treadmill. Around here we have a large number of Hutterites. They are communal farmers like the Amish, except far more progressive and the use modern machinery. I have not met a smith yet, but, figure to ask around.
