New Custom Knife Maker

[SeekHer]

As I try to promote the site and the members within, I bring to your attention a soon to be made ABS – American Blade Society - Mastersmith knife maker...

I was in contact with Firstshirt re: Son-in-law’s knife business. He was kind enough to give me his name from which I found this web site: Dale Baxter Knives…

There is an excellent article on him in the June 2003 issue of “Blade Magazine” where he made up a knife for a man who had lost both hands/lower arms in an electrical accident; designing a multi-function blade and a handle that worked with prosthetic hooks.

He studied under Don Fogg, a very noted master knife maker, as well as Alex Daniels another fine teacher.

If any of us, other then me, are thinking of an excellent, well made, Mastersmith (about to be) working style knife—as well as others--then we should support our own members, if at all possible; especially when they are disabled vets…

From what I’ve seen of his knives the workmanship is excellent with lots of attention to the small things that make the knives special...Check the cut out at the rear of the blade…

Papa-in-law is aware of this posting!

There are no prices on his site but an average working knife wil be around $200 to $350 depending on materials selected...

He's got some beautiful knives on that site - too bad all the "Available Pieces" have SOLD next to them.
