Velda Folkner – Owner
In 1998, I was selling blowguns at a local flea market, when “Jungle To Jungle” was a big hit. The gentleman I was buying the blowguns from told me I should be selling knives. So, I ordered $300.00 worth of knives, took them to Sweetwater Rattlesnake Round Up, and sold them all. That is how I got started selling knives. One of the ladies I used to do shows with, is the one that got me started in the mall and so the story goes… In November of 2001, I moved into the South Plains Mall and am still there today.
Over the years, I have seen the taste in knives evolve and transform. I started out being afraid of selling expensive, premium knives. Over the years, I have grown with the business and am selling premium high end and custom made knives. We have sold Boker knives made from the hull of the Tirpitz, sister ship to the Bismarck, to local artisan knives made in Texas, by Texans. That has grown into selling custom knives from Ohio, France, and even South Africa And now, we have moved into the online space.
Please read about my Staff, as they are the true troopers to this next stage, and I love them all!!!
