All our knives are hand made here in the U.S.A. No two knives are exactly the same. I cryo and double temper my knives
My name is Cody Hughes. have been a Kenpo practitioner since 1995. becoming a 6 th degree black belt under the Great Grand Master Jim Mitchell.
I have been helping teach and train people of all walks of life; size and sex aren't a barrier. I help others live free of fear. I enjoy teaching people how to defend themselves through skilled and coordinated manipulation of the hands, feet, knees and elbows. I teach them how to become swift, precise, graceful, powerful and accurate. You never know when you will have to save your life or the life of a loved one.
I make hand made knives and love doing it. I live in Missouri in the beautiful Ozark hills. I have been making knives since 1985. I started my first trap line. at the age of 5 with the help of my dad, and by the time I was 10, I was running a 2 dozen trap line, braking horses. and made my first hand made knife. I quickly realized the difference between a hand made knife and store bought knife. I will always go back to a hand made knife every time.
At 16 I worked with my dad on an oil well, as a mud logger in the summer time. My Jr. and part of my sr. year of high school I worked at Rainbow trout park. in Rockbridge Missouri. In the middle of my Sr. year of school I started working at a rock quarry. I even had to take off work to go to my High school graduation. At the age of 23. I became a Truck driver. I have been a part time knife maker for a long time but I realize its not the number of years you have been doing it but rather the time you put in it.
