I have known Barry Davis for many years, our paths crossing at various knife shows around the country. Barry is a quiet, unassuming guy who happens to make some very nice knives. Barry's mentor was knife making legend Jim Schmidt and his influence shows in Barry's work. I once again ran into Barry, this time at the recent Solvang knife show. I was fortunate enough to win the opportunity to purchase one of Barry's knives in the lottery. Here it is.
The carving, close up shown below, was done by Daniel Stephan
