I would like to thank Kevin Estela for putting the Vildmark through its paces, and for the well written review/article, you killed it! Thank you!
Josh Swanagon of Knives Illustrated thank you for featuring my work! I am a long time reader and fan long before I ever thought of making a knife. This is a dream come true!
Huge shout out to Stephan Fowler J.S. for introducing me to art of handmade knives and giving me a solid foundation to grow from. I meet Stephan Fowler back in Aug 2012 and I learned alot from him over the last 6 years. Thank you brother!

I would also like to thank Andy Roy with @Fiddleback , Dylan Fletcher @Fletcher Knives for their support and mentorship over the last few years.
Andy Thank you for providing me a place and a platform to grow from, you and Dylan both help me refine my craft by your example and presence. I learned alot about the knife business by being beable to hang around these two guy's on a daily basis. Not every lesson was directly taught. I learned quite a bit by just observation. I cannot thank you two enough!
A big shout out to Bud Joufuu leather for providing an awesome pair of pants for the Vildmark to ride in.
I thought it was really neat to have two Combat Veterans work from Georgia featured together!
The wood on the knife is also sourced from a fellow Veteran in the Southeast who sources and stabilizes his own wood. I buy the all my burls from him and have over the course of my short career the past few years. For one because his wood is some of the best in the business and two I just like supporting other veteran owned businesses where I can.
Paul Brach @paul_brach you know you have helped me quite a bit too! You have helped me work trough some technical challenges. And you where there alot of weekends and late nights there to help me get my own shop moved into and in order.

I would also like to thank everyone else who has supported me wrote a review, stopped by my table at Blade Show or purchased one of my pieces of work over the years. Even if you just hung out to see what I was up too I appreciate that as well!
More exciting things to come.....
