everything i've read holds him in high esteem.

NM is fortunate to have a number of exceptional makers, including Walker, Terzuola, Cordova, and McBurnette


Thanks very much,

What a knifemaker! Passed away in October, 1997. I have one that I ordered from him in 1986 and received in 1988. It is one of his custom lock back folders, with stag scales, engraved nickel silver bolsters, and with file work on side plates. Never have used it, and never will. For me a real treasure. knife

I have a locking drop point folder with a lot of filework, engraved silver end caps and rosewood that was given to me in 1986. I carried it around the world for many years, so it has seen a considerable bit of use. It's been in over 90 countries and on all seven continents.

I finally retired it because I was afraid of losing it. It was my constant companion in a lot of unfriendly places and it always gave me a bit of assurance. It was beautifully done. Sits in the safe now, waiting on a grandson, if I ever get one.
