NOTICE OF RETIREMENT: As of 2021, I am no longer taking orders for new custom knives or custom knife repair and conversions. For those of you who would still like one of my custom knives, I do have a few "On Hand", that can be shipped out ASAP. You should find the info and photos of them under the "Knives For Sale" section.  These remaining knives will be discounted by 30%, until they are all gone.
Thank you for your support over the years.  - Jay Maines

NOTICE, PENDING RETIREMENT

At  74 years of age, with poor health, I find that I can no longer stand up at my shop equipment, to grind out a blade, or shape a knife handle.  We had hoped that a new replacement heart valve, from the VA,  would give me the strength, and stamina, to continue as a  custom knifemaker, and also do restorations. However, that is not the case.
