Bob Beaty made his first knife in 1982 and became a full-time knifemaker in 1994. He began by taking a two week forging course from Rob Hudson, after which Rob invited him to remain at his shop and train in the making of damascus. Since then, Bob has received training from Steve Dunn, Ed Caffrey, M.S., Jerry McDonald and Gerome Weinand.

Bob Beaty specialized in hunting knives, but made an assortment of unique knives including hunters, utility knives, skinners and bowies, using stainless steels such as ATS-34, carbon steel, and his own carbon steel damascus. Depending on the blade material, he either worked with stock removal or forging when constructing the blades. Bob prided himself on his attention to detail, and typically completing his knives with filework and tapered tangs for an excellent feel in the user’s hand. A cryogenic quench during heat treating ensures his blades keep an excellent edge. Beaty passed away on March 20th, 2021.
