Bill Wirtel

After graduating with a degree in economics from Missouri University., and working for IBM in the late 1960’s, I came to the realization that this was not my forte. I did not want to address the regular jewelry market and focused on being a crafter of men’s gifts; primarily knives. My grandfather was a stone cutter from upper bohemia where the logo for the stonecutters guild was called a “Wirtel”. I proudly carry on the tradition.
