I discovered Abie's work about 4 years ago, when I was drawn to the functionality and practicality of her designs, and have been a fan ever since. She is known for her folding knives and her EDC fixed blades. I was fortunate to meet her at Blade Show 2023, and I'm excited to get to know her more in this interview through her background, history, and how she got into knifemaking.
