These are custom made knives from Steve Smart, an established bladesmith here where I live in McKinney, Texas. Having owned several knife stores and shops throughout California and Texas, he has settled in here and "selects" which projects he takes on....whether that's professional sharpening services or custom orders.

Steven has completed several projects for me - professionally sharpened almost everything I have, appraised many of my pieces, and has performed outstanding "sympathetic restoration" on several of my more abused pieces to prepare them for sale.

Just like a favorite EDC, it's always good to be close to your own bladesmith and knife shop owner!
