After a pretty successful first year making knives, I would like to take it to the next level and spend more time working in the shop than at my day job. - Get more orders out the door while improving my quality at the same time. - Purchase a heat treat oven. - Focus on leather a little more. -...

My brother (Michael) is getting married next summer to a wonderful woman who was raised by a great family. My brother thought it would be nice to get his future father-in-law and brother-in-law a special Christmas gift. What do you get two guys who have everything... custom knives of course...

Been a long few days around here. I have been closing down the shop around 4 or 5am for the last few days and have one more to go. But the result of all of the work is paying off. Finished the two mammoth knives, minus sharpening, and am almost done with one of the sheaths. Just need to stitch...

Wow! Those are beautiful. The design on the 5" one is a home run.

Awesome design and great work. I am sure he will love everything about it.

Thank you! The copper turned out nice. A bit of a booger as it was my first time using metal liners but well worth it.

Thanks a bunch, guys! I am very proud of this one. Good way to end my first year making knives. Well actually, I will have at least one more done after this mammoth tooth knife I am currently working on.

One down, one to go... It was not fun trying to get the tang flush and even without being able to use the tool rest as a platform... But it all came out pretty good...

Thanks, Timy!

Thanks, buddy! Should be done with it in the next few hours.

You definitely did the design justice. Excellent work!

Very nice! Great job on your fourth. Love the shape of it.

Thanks a bunch, Eric!

Had a roller coaster of a day with the mammoth. Unclamped the scales and everything was looking good. The copper is a great match and glad I decided to use it... Found some thin vinyl looking stuff from the top of an old table and glued a strip to the face of each scale. This is where my...

Thanks, buddy! Now I just need to figure out how to shape the scales to the tang :)

Thanks, Laurence! Hope the copper looks good with it.

Scary time.... Working on the mammoth tooth and mammoth ivory knives today and until Christmas morning. I figure it will take me until then to finish them up, including the leather. The bark ivory was $400 so I'm under a little pressure with this one. It has already thrown a few challenges at...

Mikey!!! How's it going, brother? Thank you so much for the compliments! I will be sending you a message in the next few weeks about a project I am working on :3:.

I am right off of I-10 and 610 by the Galleria, but on the other side of the tracks :). About 15 - 20 minutes from you. Whenever you're ready, let me know. Trust me, there is hope. I felt the same way and then one day, it just kind of clicked. I still struggle sometimes and chase grind lines on...
