For those that don't know, I own www.USAKnifemaker.com - your favorite knife supply company - hopefully
We started the business almost by accident from my house. I bought a big run of Norax 9" disc's I had custom made so I could use them in my own knifemaing. I thought I would buy a bunch, sell the extra's I didn't need and have some for myself. One thing led to another and for the first 3 years I added a few items here and there, took orders, packed and shipped it all from my house. The fourth year my wife started helping because it was too much. I still had a full time day job. The fifth year it got crazy and we hired a part time person to help, bought a small warehouse, hired a couple more people. The sixth year into this and we now have 7 full time and 3 part time people. I worked nights and weekends on the business as best I could and my wife manages the business during the work week.
Today I turned in my two notice at my day job of 30 years and will be coming full time to the knife business. I won't be a full time knife maker but I sure can get back to making more of them than I am now. I couldn't be happier. I thought I would share.
Thank you for all your business. We appreciate it...
