My knife making journey started in early 2020. We found out that my wife, who was finishing grad school, was pregnant with our second child. Anticipating her change in career with a new baby on the way, we decided it was best for me to quit my third shift job and be a stay at home dad for the next couple of years. With this new found time, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to begin making knives, something my dad has been encouraging me to do for many years.
