About the Maker
Sniper Bladeworks
Sniper Bladeworks is a collaboration between Lance Abernathy and Jody Muller. Having made his first knife as an early teenager, Jody has over twenty years experience in the knife business and has been a full time maker for five years. Prior to going full time Jody worked for over a decade as a jeweler, engraver and watch maker. He married his wife Ginger in 1993 who attends all the shows and helps work the table. Jody's knives have regularly appeared in the trade magazines and numerous other publications. His edged creations have won many awards at shows through out the US. Lance has had an interest in knives from the time he was a child when he met and became friends with Al Mar of Al Mar Knives. Lance started designing knives in the early 1990s and teamed with Jody in 2006 to create high end tactical folders. Lance was a full time Law Enforcement Officer for approx. 13 years. He worked road patrol, the detective unit and spent nearly 2 years on a DEA task force. Lance served on the SWAT Team for over 11 years as entry, sniper and team leader. This experience is regularly used in his designs. Lance's designs combined with Jody's craftsmanship won the Chicago Custom Knife Show's "Best Tactical Folder" award in 2006. Their collaborations have twice appeared in Tactical Knives magazine and the Blade Annual Knife Book.
Shiffer, Doc
"I started making knives in 2000. I have been lucky enough to have some good makers share their knowledge and experience with me. In the beginning Gary Ford, Dennis Phillips and Alex Daniels were a huge help. More recently Jerome Anders, Matt Lamey, Mel Pardue and Jim Burke have been kind enough to answer questions for me. I'm currently on the Board of Directors of the Gulf Coast Knife Makers Assn. I joined the Navy in 1987 as a Corpsman. Served the majority of my enlistment with the Marines at 2nd Division. Did a deployment to Africa and Operation Desert Storm. When I got out I went to Paramedic school and have been one since 1994. Have been a Tactical Medic for 3 different Sheriff Departments. Done some contracting in Afghanistan and am currently teaching Basic and Advanced Medical Skills as a contractor for the US Army. I also rejoined the reserves a couple of years ago and am working with 3rd Force Recon." Season 7 Episode 32 Forged in Fire Champion
