Phil Smith Knives

Bio

I was born in Georgia I have lived all over the South (TN, TX, AL, GA) all of my youth. My Good Lord do I miss it. I moved away however to go to West Point (The United States Military Academy). Somehow I managed to graduate.

I served about 6 1/2 years in the United States Army before I got out as a Captain in the Field Artillery.

For the next 16 years I worked in the production and product design of medical devices.

Recently I have made a career move into IT Development & Support and, although I must admit I miss developing medical devices, I really love learning new things and doing what I am doing now.

Knife making and kydex sheaths, therefore, is a part time venture for me after work and on weekends. Although I will not allow the part time nature of this affect the quality of my work, it does, at times, affect the speed with which I can deliver.

All I can do is promise an up front discussion on delivery time. When I give you a deadline, however, it is one that I will meet.

The true focus and joy of my life is my family. I am happily married to my lovely and very patient wife, Barbara, we have 3 boys and live in Maryland.

What does all of this have to do with me making knives and sheaths? Not a dang thing as near as I can figger.
