Gender Male

Occupation Custom knife maker, machinist
Location Fairbanks, Alaska, United States
Introduction The idea for this blog is to record the endeaver to catch each of Alaskas game fish with a fly tied by myself. I am pretty sure it has not been done and I am not sure it can be done but I am sure I will have fun attempting it. The 1911 blog is to show our field testing of the 1911 Combat Survivor survival knife.
Interests Custom knife making, fly tying, napping of stone tools in obsidian and flint, hunting and fishing. I had gone to school to be a tool and die maker, did that till 1984 then moved to Alaska to become a big game guide commercial fisherman and professional trapper, did that for 15 years. Now I run a knife/machine shop with my wife Angel.
