Our Team of Artisans and Craftspeople
Heat Treater Bradley Stallsmith
I was first introduced to Bradley Stallsmith at a Knife Makers Guild Show in Orlando Florida in the summer of 2006. Brad as he is known was representing Peters Heat Treating and was interested in getting into the Knife field. At that time Paul Bos was my heat treater but I was looking for a back up if Paul Was to retire and soon after that Paul did so. I sent Brad my first piece some time in 2007 and realized his potential as a professional heat treater. Brad now has 42 years as a professional heat treater.
