Hello fellow artisans from Mahnomen Co. in NW MN. I began making knives in 2007. My primary focus is on fillet knives and hunting knives, although I make some kitchen knives, skinners, paring knives, and was recently asked to make a meat cleaver! I'm still thinking about that. I have a...

These 2 were made from the same whitetail rack. Both are made from .103" 154CM. I made the top one first and used brass hardware. I used 303 stainless for the bottom one. I like the bottom one better. I am becoming fond of 303. I think it looks classier than brass, but brass has its place...

I hope you don't mind me sharing. I had a great time making this sale. I got a call from a 12-year-old boy who wanted to buy a knife. I have known this boy since he was born, as well as his 3 brothers and parents. He wanted a deer-hunting knife because he gets to hunt this fall he said. I...

Up until just recently I have used only high carbon steel for my blades. This is the 2nd knife I've made from SS (440c). The first was a fillet knife. I made the sheath also. OL 9.5 inches 5" Blade Milt

How does one get Dymondwood to show a a high polish? I have been getting a nice finish with the buffer, but I have seen some handles that really shine. Milt

These are my latest creations. All made from the same template, but all a just a bit different. The top one has a Bocote handle, the middle is Rosewood, and the bottom is Zebrawood. Steel was 1095, 3/16". Satin finished. They are about 8 1/2" long. These were numbers 47, 48, and 49. I am...

This blade is a bit different from what I usually make. This one was etched with my logo (I usually stamp) and is smaller than I usually make. It was also my first attempt with 4 pins. 1080 1/8" OL 7-5/8" Blade 3-5/8" Black/Silver Micarta 3/32" SS pins Next time, I will place the...

Hello Forum Members- I have been making knives for 9 months. They are getting better, and it is getting easier. But, this endeavor does have a steep learning curve. The fellows on Blade Forum have been very helpful. I am sure this group will be also. I have found that knifemakers...
