I am Steven Busch and have been actively making knives since 1999. I trained with the famous, well known Vallotton family...Butch, Rainyand Thomas from 1999 until early 2002 and am now on my own. I make all ofmy knives by myself. They are made without the use of CNC machines orlaser cutting, which makes each knife unique. I cut, thin, hand sand, andmanipulate or change in some way, each and every part in the knives I make.
