Rich Hale Knives
            I became interested in knives when I was in grade school.

                                             I made a few from old files and scrap metal that did not turn out well at all. 

                That interest stayed with me for all of my life; and as I pursued

                                            life's work and pleasures, I acquired knowledge and skill that would allow

                                            me to once again return to the art of knife making.

                    The blades I fashion now, are really the extensions of those

                                             first blades.  However techniques, knowledge, equipment and materials

                                             are vital points that allow my desires to become reality.
