To the people with order with orders still on my books, due to heart as well as my bone disease. I apologize for everything taking so long. All orders will be completed before I take anymore. All of the time I have spent in the Emergency Room and days and weeks in Hospital beds have brought a lot of things to the light I will have to face head on.


I will have to face the truth, accept the challenges and changes coming. However I will Never Quit, Never Give Up Riding Free In The Wind, With The Wind In My Face And The Sun On My Back With My Brothers By My Side, Forging Steel To Last Long After I Am Gone. When I leave this world it will long after many more miles have been ridden and many more adventures had and memories made. Stories told so many times after my Brothers and I are gone they will become songs sung for many years to come. To All those who have been standing beside me through everything I will not let you down, I will not dishonor you by quitting, I will beat this disease and anything else that stands before us.

For Honor, Loyalty, Love and Respect Now and Forever

I have never been one to ask much for myself, as a matter of fact I never ask anything for myself if I can avoid it at all costs. I am calling out to all my extended family to ask for help. My baby sister Haley needs help and at the request of the few people that I have talked to about what is going on I am putting this out to bring everyone up to speed. She just turned 30 and I hate to sound selfish but I really need this girl to be a part of my life as well as the rest of our families lives for as long as possible. She is one of the most amazing and beautiful women I have ever had the Honor and Privilege of knowing, her Old Man Joe is pretty cool to but don't let him know I said so. I don't want him to get a swelled head. Anything that you can donate to her Go Fund Me page will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Honor, Loyalty, Love and Respect Now and Forever.

Ready for another 35 years of service to someone. I was going to polish out the all of the pitting however I decided to leave some of the history of the previous owner who I made it for 35 years ago. His son said that he was not a hunter and an outdoorsman like his dad so he said that he would send it back to me if I wanted it after he passed away. I am honored to see how it was used and loved for so many years. Since I can't work in the shop as much as I used to, or want like to due to current condition. I am truly proud and honored to know that those who have 1 or more of the blades I built, appreciate my work and I do hope that they will be passed down to the next generations and keep serving families for many years after I am gone.
