Knives of John Beth
My great friend, maniac fishing companion, composer, luthier, guitar player, and etc. has been making knives for many years, but has never had the opportunity to delve into it as more than a very part-time hobby. He is now making custom knives in a serious way. When I say serious, I don’t mean that John is just busy turning out “some knives.” John is a consummate artisan with skills that others only dream about. His skill as a luthier is stunning, as are his skills as a piano technician. When he makes something it is spectacular.
So it is with his knives. I’ve put a small sampling of “fishing” style knives below–note particularly the blades that are chipped stone. John makes plenty of other designs, and builds tomahawks, as well. If you’d like to keep up with what John is doing, drop him an email at johnbeth@rucls.net, and he will put you on his mailing list.
