My name is Mark LaGrone and I have been making knives since 2003. My "maker's mark" is Saint Mark with a halo over the name. I chose this name for two reasons. Up until 2003 I drove a 1964 Volvo P1800s. This was the car that Rodger Moore drove in the TV series the "Saint". The second reason is that I am also a minister. My offical title is Minister of Education and I am currently serving at Collierville First Baptist Church, Collierville,TN.

My other hobbies include shooting recurve bows, hunting, and fountain pens. I am a member of the "Lost Tribe of Traditional Archers of Tennessee" out of Memphis ( see links).
