Tiny Spencer started making knives in l987 and has been a professional, full-time knife maker since 1993. A resident of Alaska for twenty-five years, he worked as a taxidermist, guide/outfitter and bush pilot. He now divides his time between Alaska and his studio on the north coast of Oregon.

Tiny's knife blades are relief ground and Rockwell hardened to 58. He works exclusively with 440C stainless steel. He custom designs, shapes, and hand sands the metal blades to a mirror finish. Brass guards and butts are hand-filed and shaped. Tiny's trademark handle material is fossil walrus ivory and woolly mammoth tooth. He fashions many of his handles from ancient artifacts gathered from Alaskan Eskimo and Indian digs. Shed elk and deer antler also provides material for his talents.

Tiny hopes you enjoy your knife as much as he enjoyed making it.
