"Well, living in the Mid North Flinders Ranges, hunting<br />

was something that was always going to be in my blood<br />

and you can't successful hunt without a good knife. My<br />

passion for custom knives really started many years ago.<br />

I remember as a child walking passed a shop looking in<br />

the window and thinking 'Wow look at those handmade<br />

knives! They are just incredible! How nice would it be to<br />

have something like that while out hunting?'<br />

But they cost so much."<br />

"About twenty five years later in my thirties and I was still<br />

heavily into my hunting. I thought “Bugger it! That's<br />

something I want to get into!” My father still had the business<br />

card of a knife maker in Adelaide by the name of Peter Bald.<br />

So I contacted Peter. I didn’t know it at the time but this man<br />

would not only become a good friend and true mentor, but<br />

someone who's fit and finish still inspires today."
