Who is Mark Landry-Doran
Mark Landry-Doran from Raven Custom Knives made his first knife at a course taught by Ed Storch. After taking a few more courses and several years later, he decided to get 'serious' and began the long process of converting his wife's garage into a knife shop. Mark takes every opportunity to learn from ABS Master Smith rated knife makers, visit their shops, and attend events where other makers and skilled artisans meet and exchange knowledge and friendship. He hopes to help strengthen the Canadian knife making community in the same way so our knowledge is combined, shared, and passed on so we all get better. More info about Raven Custom Knives here:
