About the Maker
Kimsey, Kevin
Kevin Kimsey made his first knife in a high school knifemaking class in 1982. The knives that he made in the first eight years were primarily "Hunting Knives". However, since the beginning of his law enforcement career in 1990, he began to design and make some of the most "tactically sound" custom knives available on the market. He does an excellent job of combining utility with defense in his designs. This has become even more apparent since his certification as a Law Enforcement Weapons Instructor in 1995.His awards include the 1993 "Blade Show" Award for the "Best Handmade Functional Knife", the 1996 "Blade Show" award for the "Best Fighter" and the "Blade" Magazine 1996 "Knife of the Year" award for the "Best Fighter". "Apache Tactical Folding Knife" is was featured in the October 1999 issue of Blade magazine in an article titled "One-Handers: Built For Speed".
