#FINCH KNIVES FULL#

As the years passed, I grew into helping Clarence full time with the knife business before eventually taking over the knife business when Clarence passed in 2016. During this time, I was able to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science with a minor in American Sign Language. Marine Corps after graduating high school.

At these knife shows, I began getting involved with the National Knife Collectors Association (NKCA) Youth Club. Growing up as a kid, I attended knife shows with Grandpa in Cincinnati, Louisville, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and many other locations. Grandpa and I shared the same passion of buying, selling, and trading quality traditional pocket knives. Clarence had me holding, opening and closing, sharpening and cleaning pocket knives at a young age. Clarence served as President of the National Knife Collectors Association (NKCA) from 2000-2007. Clarence was also the main dealer for Queen Cutlery / Schatts&Morgan Cutlery during this time. Grandpa founded the business through his hobby of collecting, selling, and trading traditional pocket knives.ĭuring the late 1980's to early 2010's, Clarence was the sole importer for German Eye Brand knives. Risner Cutlery. My grandfather, Clarence Risner founded C. Risner Cutlery in 1974. 'A hobby with friends, not a business with customers.' Owner: Austin Jackson, grandson of Clarence Risner (Founder)
