Anyone know this knifemaker

[4GD]

His name is Shiva or Shiva Kai? He makes some wicked blades that used to be featured in old SOF and Gung Ho magazines. Is he still making blades? How can I contact him.

I know the knives you mean, but don't know anything about him. You may want to e-mail SOF and see if they have any info on file.

Good luck.

I checked a couple of Warners books and he is no longer listed. If I remember he was from New Orleans.He was also into martial arts and made some wicked looking knives.

You can find info about Shiva Ki at this site: http://www.crt.state.la.us/art/index.html
Just use the "Search for Craftsmen" link, and look for "retail" and "metal."
Also, there is further info on the BAKCA site (Bay Area Knife Collectors Assoc.) http://www.cgcweb.com/bakca/
Check the custom knifemaker list.
