Since 1999 I have been making side lock folding knives almost exclusively. But I do make some fixed blade art knives. Also I make some tactical knives to my own design which comes from my many years of experience in the art of JuJutsu, and as a knife maker. I started to learn JuJutsu in 1959 when I was six years old. My father was a JuJutsu instructor, so my brothers, sister and I couldn't escape from learning. It was just the natural thing for us to do. I now teach JuJutsu here in Japan. I also teach English conversation, write for Australia's No1 knife magazine "Knives Australia"and make knives.I do all of my own work except for the heat treating of some special steals like, ATS-34, ZDP-189 and Cowry X.

Hello. My name is Glenn Waters. I am an Australian by birth but I have been living in Japan since 1986. I started making knives in 1993.At first I made hunting style knives but soon made the transition to art knives to relieve my thirst to produce some art which I hope will survive for many generations. The transition from hunting knives to art knives was made easier by my background as a Jeweler and my compulsion for fine detail which is sometimes a torment but finally it gives me great satisfaction.
