About Michael Komick
While instructing a welding program for inmates, Michael Komick was asked to make carving tools for the Native Brotherhood. When the contract ran out in eighteen months, he started working at another welding shop and while there, a friend asked him to make an adze, a few knife blades, and other wood carving tools. This later turned into a hobby and when he was laid off work, he took a marketing course through E.I. called the Self Employment Program and has been making wood carving knives full time for several years now. Marketing has been done through his web site, woodworking shows, pow wows, carving shows, farmers markets and other craft shows.

Michael Komick has been working in the metal trades for over three decades as a welder, a welding inspector and a welding instructor. His studies in metallurgy have given him the ability to know the best kinds of steel to be used for Native style wood carving tools.

Every wood carving artist needs the tools to turn their ideas into reality. You provide the ideas. We provide the wood carving knives and tools to do the job. We manufacture a wide variety of wood carving knives and tools. Custom orders are welcomed. One year guarantee.
