Hello To everyone
Hello,
My name is Chuck Gedraitis and I am a custom knife maker from Boston Ma. Ever since I can remember I have had a fascination with knives. My grandfather gave me my first pocketknife when I was 5, and it was that moment that did it. I started making knives by taking apart my mothers kitchen knives. My parents thought that there was something "wrong" with me because I had a fascination with sharp objects. That all changed when I took them to a local knife show and showed them a whole room of people interested in knives. I seriously began making knives when I was 16. I am now 36 years old and have been making knives for 20 years. For the past 12 years I have mainly concentrated on making folding knives and automatics. I mainly concentrate on making one-of-a-kind folding knives of my own design, but I do occasionally make a few fixed blades.
Regards,
Chuck

Hi Chuck, welcome to BB.
We don't do autos, but some pics of your other folders would be good.Frank Mclaury: You're next on my list, Holliday. You better get used to seeing my face, 'cause it's the last thing you're gonna see.
Doc Holliday: McLaury, seeing your face would be a pleasant change. I understand most of your enemies got it in the back.

Re: Hello To everyone
Hi buddy :-)
Oh when my love, my darling, You've left me here alone,
I'll walk the streets of London, Which once seemed all our own.
The vast suburban churches, Together we have found

Re: Hello To everyone
Thank you for the welcome. Here are a few pics of the slip-joints that I make. They are screw together construction so they can be disassembled for cleaning or spring adjustment.

Re: Hello To everyone
You can see more of my work on my website at www.gedraitisknives.com
I make a little bit of everything from liner/frame locks, slip-joints, balisongs, automatics, lock backs and even a few fixed blades.
Regards,
Chuck
