George Dailey started making straight knives and leather sheaths in the early eighties, and switched to making strictly folding knives in the early nineties. Drawing on his trade as an accomplished jeweler, George began making custom art knives in fighter and dagger designs incorporating precious metals like gold, and various gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds. His one of a kind creations quickly caught on, and his knives became very highly valued by collectors. To go along with his unique designs, he chooses only the finest natural materials for his handles like gold, black, and white mother of pearl, fossil ivories of Walrus and Mastodon, and Abalone. He hollow grinds damascus from  top forgers like Gary House and Daryl Meier, and does a lot of carving, filework, and some engraving on his knives. Top engravers like Ray Cover Jr. and Julie Warenski have also graced his knives with their own classic art. He has made some automatics, but his real love is the elegant interframe and bolstered linerlock gentlemans folders that he is so well known for. George's work is featured in David Darom's first book on folders, which showcases knives from many of the top makers working today.

These are the knives that I currently have available made by:
