About Me

Thank you for visiting I.Q. Knives! My experience with knife collecting began 40 years ago after my military release in 1975. I have studied and collected both military knives and custom knives by all the great makers, including Bo Randall, Bob Loveless, Bill Moran, Ron Lake, Michael Walker, Jim Schmidt and many more. I have, over the years established great friendships with top makers, collectors and purveyors worldwide.

Quality Custom Knives

The main focus of this site is to share my knowledge with collectors and provide them with heirloom quality custom knives made by the masters of this art.

As time goes by, my tastes change and I offer some of my current pieces for sale on the open market. I do this to constrain my collecting within certain sanity limits, and to justify my desire to keep my collection within my own personal preset limits. MY GOAL: To circulate some of my collection to new owners. Making a profit is not my objective.

If you purchase one of the knives found on these pages, rest assured that they were originally purchased through a collector's eye and have been handled with the utmost of care.

If there is a particular maker or model you are interested in, please ask. I am always interested in buying knives- individual pieces or collections. The inventory on this site will change often, so please bookmark it and visit often. These knives are one a kind items- please contact us for current stock.
