Jim and Joyce Minnick have shared a partnership in the knife industry for over 30 years. Called "arguably the best knife making couple in the world". Combining Jim's talent as a world class knife maker and Joyce's fine art engraving, has made their art known and collected both nationally and internationally. Their work has been featured in many articles and publications, receiving several honors and awards.

In 2008 Jim and Joyce's years of artistry in creating some of the most  acclaimed investment- grade knives were recognized by the Corporazione Italian Coltellinai in Milan when they were inducted into the guild and designated as "Maestros". A very humbling moment for them and an honor they hold in very high esteem.

Jim and Joyce make their home in Middletown, Indiana. They both feel they are truly blessed to be able to share a common interest and work together in creating some truly  unique and innovative art  knives, which has been the hallmark of their work.
