Have been blacksmithing and making items since 1978, began knifemaking about same time, produce mainly 18th century type blades, boucan-type and longhunter. My ancestry is English as translated through 1630's arrival in Hartford, Conn., as settlers moved West until reached Indiana in 1850's,
with contacts to Fort Pitt, Fort Ligonier and Shawnee Native influences.
