Form follows function: the practical elegance of traditional pocketknife patterns abide by this principle. The design of each knife is based on the use case. From the moment I first held my grandfather's well-worn daily pocketknife, I understood that every scuff, scrape, and chip carried its own story.

Residing in Western North Carolina with my wife and daughter, we understand that the Appalachian Mountains also keep their own tales. I make traditional pocketknives by hand to tell a story that can be shared and passed down from generation to generation.
