Tyler has been working with knives since he was 5 years old, whittling wood and learning how to safely use a pocketknife. Since that time, Tyler has been trained on proper knife usage through martial arts training and started collecting knives at an early age. As an enthusiast of the television show, Forged in Fire, he then became interested in high-end, professional knives, knife making, and knife maintenance, care, and styles. Now at age 14, Tyler has become an accomplished knife sharpener and guide to fit people with the appropriate blade for the desired comfort and utility.
