About AB Knifeworks
Andy Bailey is a Master Gunsmith, alumnus of Pennsylvania Gunsmithing Academy in Pittsburgh, PA. He began creating knives as a natural extension of his smithing skills. He crews on the traditional tall ship US Brig Niagara and the schooner Lettie G Howard based in Erie, PA and many of his knives are inspired by this maritime influence.
