"Hendrickson knives exhibit master artistic quality and follow in the foot steps of original "traditional" forged knives. He prides himself on making knives the old way and does everything by hand and eye coordination using minimal machinery." - Larry Connelley
Jay was one of the ABS members instrumental in the planning and formulation of the W.F. Moran School of Bladesmithing in Washington, Arkansas and the Blacksmith Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas. He has been teaching the basic bladesmithing course at the school since its beginning.
Jay has made knives knives for people in many countries of the world but one of the highlights of his knifemaking career was to forge Kukri Knives for Prince Abdullah Hussein, now King Hussein of Jordan. His knives have been featured on the covers of many knife magazines; Knives Illustrated, La Passion des Couteaux, and Knives 99.
Many people know Jay Hendrickson for his great knives and his big smile. Jay is a great individual to talk with and enjoy. We are proud to offer a limited selection of his work for immediate delivery. Jay no longer takes orders for his knives - the waiting time has grown too large.
