I've been studying and making Japanese style blades for over 17 years, being self taught through research and trial and error until recent years. Since 1999, I've befriended several Japanese smiths and learned a great deal from them. My Japanese blades run the gamut from single steel forged pieces to forge-folded modern steel and my most spectacular work which is completely handmade from orishigane. I'm almost entirely a swordsmith though I do make an occasional knife or folder. My secondary point of focus has been contemporary or fantasy swords and blades, primarily worked in damascus.
