About the Maker
Voorhies, Les
I started making knives in 1994, when a co-worker making fillet knives from power hacksaw blades gave me one to try. I showed the blade to a friend who gave me some Cocobolo for the handle and introduced me to a local knifemaker named John Gianini who encouraged me and pointed me in the right direction. I sold my 1st knife at a gun show in 1994. A year or two later I started attending hammer-ins at Howard Clark's shop each spring, and I started learning about folder making from R.B. Johnson and Al Dipold. I've been making knives part-time, primarily in the winter and closing my shop in the summer to enjoy some of my other hobbies until August 2005 when I was laid off from my job as an aircraft mechanic at Northwest Airlines. I'm now full-time and doing as many shows as I can manage.

"I took an interest in knives, swords, and other unique creations in my early childhood years. I've always been drawn to difficult things and avoided those things that are easy or boring. I work as a Technical Architect and enjoy things that go fast and/or make loud noises. I hold a National Record as a competitive shooter. I have collected knives for years and in 2013 decided to do design collaboration work and now have many designs either in production or completed."
