Title
Custom handmade knives, edged weapons, & jewelry by Larry Gotkin - Home
Description
I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, and am a 1981 graduate of the University of Arizona School of Architecture in Tucson. I have been practicing architecture in Tucson since 1981.
Scrimshaw became a hobby after I received a small scrimmed tooth in 1979. The first piece was a Gerber knife that I rehandled with Micarta (picture below — pretty crude!).
Over the years, I produced many pieces of jewelry and knives, usually tearing commercial knives down and rehandling with Micarta or ivory. A book of knife making taught me the rudiments of acid etching and leather sheath-making. During the eighties, many blades from Bob Engnath's House of Muzzleloading were purchased, constructed, and sheathed.
