Frontier Sheaths
My Frontier sheaths combine a hand-tooled leather outer sheath with a removeable inner Kydex lining, giving you the retro look of a hand-tooled sheath with the added protection and secure fit of Kydex. Each one is unique. My latest knives will be offered with this option. I can also make a custom sheath for your favorite knife.
Contact me if you'd like to learn more about the options offered on this innovative line of sheaths.




KNIFE MAKER - ARTIST - AUTHOR - OUTDOORSMAN
Growing up in New England, I have always enjoyed the diversity and beauty of the seasons.
I believe this to be a strong contributor to my creativity.
Bringing something handmade to life – whether it be forging a handmade knife, painting or drawing, creating a piece of jewelry or writing my next novel – each bears its own creative rewards.
As a part-time knife maker, I forge roughly 10 knives each year. This affords me the oppotunity to do each and every step myself. It also allows me to take on other creative projects and enjoy hunting, fishing, kayaking and spending time with friends and family. I have no staff and do not outsource anything. I approach each project as if it was my best and last. Seeing smiles on my customer's faces is the icing on the cake. If you'd like to get on my project schedule, feel free to reach out to me.
I'm hoping you'll see something here that speaks uniquely to you, and customizes your next adventure.
