Barr Quarton has been working with tool steel since 1977 and as a professional knife maker has had the opportunity to work with some of the best bladesmiths and blacksmiths in the country. He gained additional experience in extensive work with a traditional Japanese sword smith. Barr has taken his knowledge and skill and applied it to the making of fine tools, tools, that are hand forged and individually tempered to hold a superior edge with a balance and finish not available commercially. These are tools to be proud of now and for generations to come.
