Halfmann, Wendell

Wendell is a cotton farmer from Garden City, Texas. He took an interest in custom knives about 4 years ago (2019). A friend introduced him to knife maker Dale Evans of Abilene. He spent a few days with Dale learning the basics of making a fixed blade knife. About a year later he wanted to try out making a folding knife. A friend introduced him to Bubba Crouch, and Bill Ruple. They both have been an integral help in learning the craft of custom knife making. What started as a hobby to keep himself busy during winter months has become a passion, and his wife, Kristin, is grateful. Wendell spends as many days as he can in his barn making knives.
