Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

When Larry first started building knives, he had little dreams.  First was getting good enough people wanted to buy his knives now he stays behind.  Next he wanted to be able to set up at Blade and now he has a whole booth.  Then he wanted to be published in Blade Magazine and he has... 3 times. Now he has been published in Knives Illustrated, Tactical Knives and NOW Knives Illustrated Buyer's Guide 2014.  Over this journey he has became a voting member of The Knifemaker's Guild in 2010.  He has exceeded every goal he has set for himself...wonder what he will do next?

Thanks yall!  We have been working hard to get ready for Larry to go to Tulsa so I am trying to catch up today!  Every knife maker should have a dream!!  And yes I do work in the shadows to push all this forward but if he weren't so talented there would be nothing to market!

Kudos, Larry! You have realized a dream and now you continue to make beautiful knives and hopefully inspire others to strive to succeed as you have.

I was once told that "it is better to aim for the moon and hit the side of the mountain, than to aim for the mountain and hit a telephone pole."

You, sir, seemed to have aimed for the moon and hit the not only the stars but distant galaxies far beyond your wildest expectations! 

Again, kudos and congratulations on all of your success -- You deserve all of the accolades that are bestowed upon you, my friend!
