My retail background is in selling photographic equipment, binoculars, telescopes, and related items either full or part time for over 23 years. During this time I managed two camera stores, one in San Angelo and one in Austin, Texas. I have sold new and used cameras of many different types, darkroom equipment, and other photo related items. My knowledge base covers both photography and photographic equipment. Photography was my major at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas 1971-74. I have also taught photography part time over 11 years. I still do as much personal photography as time allows.

In 1991 I started a knife business that is now called Cutler's Cove™. I got interested in knives while managing the camera store in Austin back in 1986. The knife interest grew and I decided that I could help my knife collection by selling a few knives on the side. The knife interest has now grown to the point that it is how I make my living. I have a knowledge base in most factory, and some custom knives.

I try to list a bit of everything in my knowledge base on eBay and generally try to do so without a reserve. Feel free to call or write anytime with questions or to just talk. (Go to the Cutler's Cove link to get phone number, etc.) I am always in the mood to buy things, so if you ever want to sell some or all of what you have, I usually can help. I love all kinds of knives, knife books and magazines, Randall Made Knives, Parker & Son Texas Sesquicentennial Series of Knives, and vintage original hardware and cutlery catalogs.
