Some of you know already, but for those who don't, I have made the decision to hang up my apron and end my time as a bladesmith. As a result, I have several knives that I am willing to let go at a discount. As usual, I am still offering free shipping in the U.S, but unfortunately I can no longer offer a warranty. There are too many to post every photo, but I can provide them on request. Thanks again to everyone who has supported me over the last 7 years, and to everyone who offered advice or generally leant their knowledge.

Travis Talboys Travis Talboys I seem to remember meeting you at Ashokan a couple of years ago. You seemed passionate about making knives, and it strikes me as unfortunate that you feel like that passion has escaped you. For what it’s worth, I hope at some point that drive springs back for you, and if not, I hope you find happiness in whatever direction you choose. Best of luck in the future.

Thank you Matthew. The passion to create has never left. The energy needed to continue to hustle is the issue. Online is too out of touch, and shows are expensive and exhausting. Im not sure yet exactly where I will land, but Im sure it will be on my feet.
 
This is unfortunate news.

I hope it was by choice and not forced.
Beautiful selection you have here. Some folks are going to have a few very nice pieces in their collection or on their hip.

Best of luck in the future.
