I started doing scrimshaw as a hobby in 1979. Knives, jewelry, and firearms were excellent canvases for this new hobby, so I began to rehandle knives and firearms and sell them locally. The problem with any crafts hobby is that you soon run out of room in your own house to display pieces, and I cannot afford to give them ALL away as gifts! Thus, the birth of this website.

I do not make my own blades, preferring to leave that specialty to others. Over the years, I have used several blade suppliers including House of Muzzleloading, Texas Knifemakers Supplies, Kris Cutlery, and others.

I hope you enjoy looking at my portfolio. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions — together we can come up with a truly unique piece of custom work.

Larry is offering some new items for sale! His latest passion is POWDERHORNS! Please click the images at left to see his new tomahawks and many powderhorns. Look here, too, for his beautiful "copper flower" presentation pipe tomahawk! Also, take a look at the new honeybee katana, and please note that katanas and wakisashis can be made to order to match the tantos to make a complete daisho. The new cribbage board illustrates the breadth of Larry's work.

Several weapons shown on this site include a custom-made sword or knife bag. The material for each bag is selected specifically for the individual knife or sword it contains. We also can create custom bags for any swords or knives you already own.
