A member of the American Bladesmith Society with over 19K YouTube subscribers, Richardson is known for his knife making videos and founded Timberlee Tool & Trade where he sells his handcrafted work. He also leads instructional classes and one-on-one workshops in his blacksmith studio where he shares his expertise with aspiring knifemakers and outdoor enthusiasts.
