Suzanne E. Having a large and active web site since has, thankfully, brought me a lot of interest, business, partnership with patrons, and knife orders and purchases.
Truly, I would not be able to do what I do without the support and contact of new and existing knife clients and people who are interested in fine custom and handmade knives. I am honored, humbled, and grateful to those people who contact me, start a conversation about their knife, and may ultimately become regular clients.
That is what this web site is about, pure and simple: my knives, my clients, and my career. As the web site traffic has grown, people have sent emails about everything related to knives in any way. I suppose that's because they see a large and meaty web site, so the answer or project they seek will be there, and all that has to happen is an email, so they send. During that time, the site has grown, developed, been refined, has had some areas restricted, and evolved.
A great deal of that evolution has had to happen to limit the huge onslaught of incoming emails and inquiries. They sent so many emails that were not related to this site which is about my knives, knife clients, and career , I became overwhelmed, spending 4 or more hours a day answering their inquiries. I realized that this was time I was taking away from my clients who had ordered custom knives and clients who were watching the site waiting for new inventory knives to come up for sale.
In order to limit the flood of email, I created the " What I do and don't do " page. The " What I do and don't do " page was a hit. It made clear that I would not answer emails unless they were about ordering or purchasing a knife from me.
