It was at this time that he developed his love of knives and handcrafted bows and arrows. In 1974 he seriously started making knives, while pursuing a career in telecommunications at IBM. Jay became a full time knifemaker in 1987 and received his Masters Certification in 1989. Jay was one of the ABS members instrumental in the planning and formulation of the W.

Knives are hand forged using 5160, 52100, L6, D2, W2, etc. Most work includes fine silver inlay combined with other escutcheons of silver, ivory, turquoise, etc.Handles are almost always natural wood & antler materials. I have not used, carried, sheathed or sharpened this knife. It has been displayed, and held by me a few times, but is in otherwise "excellent to like new" condition. The blade looks to be in excellent condition with a couple of minor spots and some fine lines/scratches unsure if this is from original grinding, prior sheathing or prior use? The knife appears to have the original maker edge.
The handle is in excellent condition. Wonderful grain to the maple. Stunning silver wire inlay work.
The sheath also looks to be in excellent condition with minor to moderate storage wear. Owned and displayed by an adult collector in a smoke free home.
