Larry Harley Lonesome Pine Knives I grew up watching my Dad, "Pap" Harley, who started making knives in 1940. This provided the spark for Lonesome Pine Knives. I started making knives myself when I was 9 yrs.old and played around at it till about 1980, when I turned full time. With the support of my family and the aid of loyal customers, I've been able to turn a labor of love into a full time profession. I ran about 2 yrs behind on orders until I was featured in the WALL STREET JOURNAL and that quickly ended up as 4 yrs. (With the exception of my Battle Bowie. I make batches of them several times a year for my hunters and military personal).

I have always been an admirer of fine blades, and being an avid hunter, I developed a desire to try and build my own style. When I visited the shop of Johnny Stout several years ago, it inspired me to become a knife maker. He taught me most of the basics that I needed to know to become a true maker. Upon my retirement, I became a full time maker. I really enjoy making knives, and I try to create a high quality blade that will please and satisfy the user, and one that I would carry for myself. When I put my name on a blade, it is my guarantee to the customer that I have been successful.
