Here is the first knife I made
Made it from a broken leaf spring from my girlfriends 97 Jimmy. She stashed money to buy that truck to escape an abusive relationship with her Baby.
It was a copy of her favourite knife that broke the tip off,got lucky on the Purple Heart wood turns out to be a favourite too.

Don Hanson is a member here, goes by Sunfish, but I don't see him as a member anymore, probably because he hasn't posted in awhile. He used to be more active on here and AS. He comes to the MO GTG sometimes. His knives are extraordinary; not sure they are meant to be used, more for collecting. His website is sunfishforge.com.
Yep...Don's knives are some of the best craftsmanship I've ever seen.

I was talking about Alabama knife makers guild for some other maker trying to get me to stop using my makers mark, because he said it was to close to his and I was profiting from it. I just had to stop using the arrowhead around it for awhile. I've already submitted proof that I've had it longer and just waiting on a call so I can go back to it. Just a little BS along the journey

I'm located in Middle Tennessee, Muary county. But within a year or less,we'll be moving south to Giles county. Just let me know when you want me to make you one.

I know Phillip Smith and Jeff Humble (not sure on spelling of last name) I reckon they're still active down in Lawrence County. There was a woman to but i can't recall her name. I've always kept a good relationship with game wardens.
