ABOUT TONY

My name is Tony Karns. My fascination with all things metal started as a young boy in my dad’s welding shop. I learned to ark, mig and gas weld. I loved how you could manipulate the shape and hardness of steel using only heat and a hammer.

As life progressed I’ve had the opportunity to do many things as a career. I’ve owned construction companies doing lite commercial projects and restorations, cabinet shop doing high end commercial case work, pastored a church, owned a recording studio and of course made custom knives.

Due to a heart issue, I was forced to limit my activities. I needed to focus on one thing and that thing was knives. I absolutely love the craftsmanship and beauty of quality knives. My plan is to do this for the rest of my life.
