Caston, Darriel

Darriel Caston is D Rocket Designs. "Makers such as Timothy Wright, Terry Davis, Terry Lee Renner, Ron Lake, Jim Corrado and James Whitehead took me under their wings and I believe their skill and attention to detail shows in my work. I have one several awards – Best New Maker at the Oregon Knife Show and the Bay Area Knife Show. I kept my style as it is now – Balance and Zen. Through 2004 to 2013 I left to scene to raise my children. Since 2013 I came back to Design and Knifemaking with a vengeance – literally! I had something to prove. Everything under the sun has been seen before. We only put our own spin on it. I came back not only to put my stamp on things, but to educate, mentor and create a honorable business that stands the test of time. I put time into deciphering old techniques to marry them with cutting edge technology.
