Tony Stanfield currently  lives in White City, Oregon, a small town a hundred or so miles from the west coast. At 39 years of age, he has been married for close to 20 years and has two kids; an 11 year old boy and a little girl at the age of 6. Tony has been knapping for about five years but before that he was a watercolor artist.  One day at a western art show, Tony caught the tale end of a flintknapping demonstration and knew right away that he had found his medium. After watching a video, reading all he could and talking with a few other knappers, and about three years of practice, he started selling things locally. After awhile, Tony sought out new markets and bought a computer. He later remarked, " Figuring my computer out was harder than learning to knapp. I am almost as proud of my website that I designed and maintain as I am of my knapping skills. I have always approached flintknapping as an art form but I realize that my customers might be more interested in the authentic look. So one of my knives might look authentic while the next might be a fantasy knife looking like nothing from the past. One thing about my knapping is I am constantly learning and getting better. I think most knappers probably would agree."
