Who is "Stek"?
- Thread starter Joss
- Start date
Craig lives in Billings, Mo. and he and his son are full time knifemakers. He does mostly damascus pieces. His son makes the damascus and Craig makes the knives. I have visited at his home on several occasions and have known him about 9 years. He is a member of the ABS and the PKA the last time I talked to him. He only does about 1 or 2 knife shows a year and mostly does ebay. He has always been friendly and helpful when needed.

I asked the same question on a different knife forum a few months back but no one knew much about him then. He is getting to be better known as people have been buying his knives mostly on E-Bay. I did as much research on him (Craig is the knifemaker and Adam is the Damascus steelmaker) as I could with favorable reviews and then I contacted him about making a knife in the style I wanted. He has professional art training and degrees. We got together and he made my knife. I wanted what I call a stick point hunter which has a fairly straight cutting edge but with some belly. Others would call this knife more of a fighter. Craig's knife surpassed my expectations in that it is more knife than I thought I would be getting - a real handfull. Slightly over 9" long with a thick (3/16") 4 1/4" x 1 5/16" random etched Damascus (240 layers) blade, Damascus guard, full tang, 4" Mastodon bark ivory scales with mosaic pins, excellent fit and finish. I need to learn how to transfer digital pictures from my wife's camera (which cost more than the knife so I can self-justify my purchase). Well this is a long reply but let me simply say that he did great work on my knife. Vic/
