About Us.
Meg.
What is it? Let’s call it textile art, free hand machine embroidery and watercolor on linen. From architecture with accompanying short stories fashioned on a vintage smith corona typewriter to portraits in thread with vegetable dye that never seem to stay in the frame.
They don’t make things like they used to… let’s change that. From hand crafted knives with hardwood handles and hand hammered copper bracelets to leather wallets stitched by hand and riveted with bits of copper. They’re crafted to last and that’s why they’ve got a lifetime guarantee..
Chris.

“I was lucky enough to get the first knife in one of Chris’s collections along with a custom belt sheath. It’s my favorite to carry. His knife has held its edge with minimal sharpening and is able to handle any job. I highly recommend his work for any knife enthusiast!”
