Lloyd Hale, a master who has been fighting in the field of art knives for half a century. His unique design and unique use of shellfish have made Lloyd's work a sensation in the art knife world. As early as 1967, Lloyd became a very rare handmade knifemaker in the United States at that time. In 1977, Lloyd's order cycle reached more than 5 years, and major magazines rushed to report on his work. In 1981, American billionaire Osrie Brown Flahir took a fancy to Lloyd's work and set up a museum area for him as a showroom. For 23 years, all of Lloyd's works were collected under the umbrella of the Osry Museum. As Mr. Osley grew older, Lloyd finally returned to the public eye, continuing to infect people who loved the sword collection with his sexually distinct masterpiece.
