Haney, Rick

I'm a self taught knifemaker in Chattanooga, Tn. I started making tactical folders and fixed blades in 2003.I've been fascinated with the artistry of custom knifemaking since a young boy. I make my knives one at a time, working with a variety of steels such as CPM S-30V, 20CV, ATS-34, and Sandvik stainless. For handle material I use G10 and carbon fiber for durability of use. All my blades are professionally heat treated for maximum performance for the needed use.My background as a jewelry modelmaker has enabled me to incorporate my sculpting skills to my knife blades. My designs are unique & continue to evolve. I feel fortunate that I can make functional art that people enjoy using as a tool. I'm passionate about the knives I produce, and to make a high performance edged tool with a aesthetic flair is my goal as an artist."
