I took a couple of years off from knife making and haven't been very active here, so I thought I would re-introduce myself now that I'm getting back into the shop. Looking forward to trying some new things, including my first folder, and should have a few questions as that project takes shape...

Ed Caffrey's "Wreck Knives" inspired me with an idea which I'm still not sure is worthwhile, but materialized so nicely in my mind's eye that I had to make one and see what it might be useful for. It's basically a seatbelt cutter on steriods, and inch for inch it is one of the most aggressive...

I had a customer order a knife with a textured and etched finish, carbon steel blade. He has had the knife about 3 weeks now and has contacted me twice saying that spots of rust are appearing on the blade even though it is stored in a dry environment and has not been used. He has asked if I will...

This is a powerful little chopper made from .360" 5160. 11" overall, 6" long x 1-7/8" wide blade. I'm not usually a fan of tanto-style points but it offers a nice prying implement and a corner that will bite deep when chopping. Tang tapers to @ .150". Good for downing small trees, splitting...

I have a customer in Canada who is a member of the Canadian military, who would like to purchase a knife from me. The catch is that he is deploying in just over a month.
