Mitchell, Johnathan
My name is Johnathan Mitchell. I'm 30, and live in Wilson, NC. I've been making knives off and on for about a year. I've always had an interest in tools; particularly edged tools. I started buying and collecting knives when I was about 5 years old. Through the years, I developed definite opinions about what constitutes a quality knife. After being routinely disappointed with factory and custom knife offerings, I decided that I would learn to make my own knives. This was certainly easier said than done. At the time, I essentially had no idea where to start. Fortunately, I soon met renowned knife maker Alan Folts. www.foltsknives.com Alan was nice enough to invite me to his shop, and teach me the basics of knife making. I've also had the opportunity to learn from Travis Daniel and Barry and Phillip Jones. While knife making isn't easy, my knives are constantly improving. More importantly, I enjoy the process of designing and producing a quality knife.
