Tobin Smith is a custom knife maker who has always had a fascination with knives, and has the scars to prove it! He became serious about making knives in 2006 and has continually developed his craft since then. Today he specializes in both folding and fixed blade knives. Much of his work is done completely by hand.
"If I didn't enjoy it so much, I probably wouldn't make knives, as it's a time-consuming, tedious, and an addicting undertaking." Tobin is one of the greatest talents that I have had the pleasure of working with.
