LAKESIDE WEEKENDER
Heber Springs knifemaker David Griffin
displays one his handmade knives.
AUCTION
Knifemaker David Griffin explains his craft to a visitor at his booth at the recent Anglers Expo.
Members of the AKA teach at various events, donate
knives to worthy causes, and promote the craft across
the nation. It is estimated that Arkansas has more master knife craftsman than any other state. Members of
the organization “uphold the highest standards in their
business practices and craft.”* (AKA website).
“I have received so much help from the AKA
member,” Grifin said. “The members are always willing to teach and share. The organization also helps its
member promote on a national level. That has been a
huge help for me.”
Probably the most famous knife of all times is the
Bowie Knife, named after its designer Jim Bowie,
Bowie designed the ist knife in 1930 and used it in
a couple of famous duels which help fuel the fascination with his knife. Bowie reined the design and
others copied the basic design characteristic, a long
sheath with a cross guard and clip point. The Bowie
knife is still one of the most popular knives today. The
popularity of knife making subsided for several years
and remained relatively dormant outside the craft
until Arkansas knife maker Jimmy Lile crafted a knife
called First Blood Knife which was used in the movie
Rambo. You know the story, the knife became known
as the Rambo knife and the rest is
history.
