I am selling all of my knife making equipment. I moved a couple years ago and haven’t set any of my tools back up and at this point I think it’s just time to move on to other hobbies. Everything is in excellent condition.

I haven’t been making much lately. This is the latest chef knife I made. I made it for my Father in law for Christmas. 80CRV2 steel, walnut scales, G10 liners and pins. We used it on Christmas night to cut up the Christmas ham and it worked great!

Some progress made on Austin’s KITH. I’ve decided the blade is going to be black, black G10 scales, copper liners and copper pins! I can’t wait to get it finished!
