Sam Stoner's Outback Forge in Scottsville, KY

[Wilson002s]

I've seen some knives floating around made by Sam Stoner, an Amish guy, at his forge in Scottsville. He uses horses to power his grinders. From what I can tell, they look like really well made knives, but the only information I can find online is a couple of Pinterest posts, and a couple of expired auctions. I was curious as to if anyone had anything from there, or had seen/heard of him. I live in Westmoreland, so it would be neat to have a knife made a few miles up the road by horse-powered grinders.

They featured his forge on KET a while back

That horse tread mill is about as cool as it gets!

I had seen a couple that had sold on Adams, but I had never seen any prices. Glad you found that.

and I agree, xtriggerman, very cool

When I click "buy it now", the price is $0.

If ya'll find out exactly where he's at, or how to buy one, I'm interested.

So, where do you get em?

[Wilson002s]

Being that Scottsville is so close, I was curious to see if he had a small shop set up where locals could buy. Thought the guys at Habeggar's may know, but haven't had a shot to ask

Yes, I'd like to know too.

I've picked them up at the gun show in Nashville.  For the last year or two there is a vendor there who sells them.  Typically has nice selection and wide variety.

Yep....I'd buy a GT knife before a Stoner. anytime......and I hope to get one one day.

I located Mt. Stoner's shop today, but sadly, he wasn't there.

Can't call him or email him. I guess I'll just stop by when I'm in the area and maybe catch him there one day.

Has anyone been successful in making contact with Mr. Stoner? 

 

I will be in that area hunting after the holidays and would like to swing by, just curious if he holds a set schedule?
