  • Based on my Viet Nam Veteran's knife, here's a knife that I was honored to make for an amazing man. Major Thomas A. Shuman is a veteran of three wars, served in battle in World War Two, Korea, and Viet Nam. It is because of veterans like Tom that I'm able to enjoy what I do, live in a free country, and know my family is safe. It was a great honor for me to make this gentleman this fine knife.
  • People sometimes ask who are the veterans in my life, the guys that have served faithfully in our military? Though I've never served, many of those around me have. My father, my father-in-law, my son, my son-in-law, my brother-in-law, and three uncles: all have served their country. I'm honored to know and love them all.
