Introducing John Moore
John Moore, born and raised in Sheffield, has had a lifelong passion for knives. However, it was when he began hunting at the age of 13 that his interest in knives truly gained purpose.
Initially, John started hunting rabbits using ferrets, and he expanded his hunting endeavors to include ratting. Upon acquiring his first terrier, he ventured into foxing and has since owned lurchers for activities such as ferreting and lamping.
During childhood excursions, John always kept a knife in his pocket, gradually honing his understanding of the specific requirements that a knife should meet for various purposes while out in the field.
Currently, John eagerly engages in shooting and deer stalking as frequently as possible, ensuring that he always carries a trusty knife in his pocket, which remains a constant companion.
