About the Maker
Imel, Billy Mace
Billy Mace Imel started making knives in 1973. For the next 48 years with his wife Beverly by his side, Billy would be making, selling and promoting knives – daggers and hunting knives, pocket knives and custom creations. Their journey took them to major shows in New York, Dallas, Paris, Munich and Japan. Billy was a member of the Knifemakers' Guild for 43 years and served as secretary-treasurer for 15 of those. In 1981 Billy was commissioned by the National Rifle Association to make a knife to be presented to President Ronald Reagan, the speaker at the national convention that year. In 1983, he made another for then-Vice President George Bush. An Imel knife is included in a permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Billy and Beverly Imel were inducted into the BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2021.
