Knifedogs - I've been quiet lately as I've gone on to try to secure some large dealer volumes of knives this last 2 months. The particulars of that have taken up much of my time but I'm working on my custom backlog as well. I should have a verdict in the next week one way or the other - I'll...

I've been busy. Thank you all for sticking with me through this, it's been a big 4 years. Wow. I've got 4 or 5 custom projects to wrap up then it's onto building inventory and moving things along with some ads. I'm going to be published in Blade in September for their military issue, and I'm...

This is my first first engraved piece, embellishment by Jesse Kaufman of Black Hills Gunstocks and Engraving. This knife features deep relief engraving accenting the mitered 416 stainless steel bolsters and checkered walnut handle scales. The knife is based off of my 4" Watershed...

I've been busy. A friend came by this last weekend to pick up a pair I'd had in the works for awhile, he'd originally requested black jigged horn which wasn't available, so we went with black linen Micarta. That being the "standard" handle material out of the shop, I took several photos of...

It's time to try to get published. Here's what has been selected, most of which you've seen before, and a brand new mugshot of yours truly to go along with it. Fortune favors the bold. Seriously, I'm a little antsy, this is a new chapter in things and I can't thank you all enough for your...

Knifedogs- Barry Gallagher of Lewistown, Montana is considering reentering the knife photography business and has kindly asked me to help him get an idea of how much interest there might be. His extensive published photography portfolio can be found via Google search, if anyone is qualified...

I'm unable to attend Blade this year due to time constraints, so I'm counting this piece as my "Sale" for the spring. I've posted in the main Custom forum as well with a complete description. I'm asking $565 including insured USPS Priority Mail shipping in the USA, knife includes sheath...

Here's the newest one off the bench, a 4 5/8" bladed knife patterned off my 1.25" stock hunter. I gave CPM S35VN a shot for this one, and I like it - it seems to take finer edge than S30V. The knife is sporting a hand rubbed finish, mitered, scalloped, mirror polished 304 stainless bolsters...

Here's the latest one off the bench, using some of Mark Farley's excellent material from Burlsource.us and a highly customized version of my 4" semi-nessmuk skinner. This one has a fingergrooved grip fit to the owner's hand, tribal filework from the clip to the heel of the handle, mitered 304...

This one has been in the works for a long time and I'm thrilled to have it finished and up for sale. Any questions or comments are welcome, thank you! 7 1/8" long Crucible CPM 154CM blade, mirror finish, with deeply tapered tang. Mitered 304 stainless bolsters, satin finished. Gorgeous...

This is another recent one - it's big, 11" or so overall, with a 3/16" thick 5.5" cutting edge CPM 154CM blade, mitered stainless bolsters, and a finger-grooved two tone laminate grip. I built my typical heavy duty 10/12 oz. horizontal sheath for it and am quite pleased with the balance and...

Here's the latest one off the bench. The gentleman who commissioned the knife supplied me with a very nice local elk shed and I cut a great pair of scales from it for the project. It's a slightly upsized version of my regular 8" bowie, with a little more raise to the spine before the clip...

This year really got off to a great start in a lot of ways, here's some standouts of knives that have been commissioned. This is a full custom piece based on my 7" chisel point tanto, with finger grooves, two control rings and a persuader style pommel, in 1/4" S30V with a gunmetal finish and...

I recently finished up two hunting knives in 1/8" 1095 steel, they're hollow ground and by playing with the quench I was able to get some attractive hamon-like differential to show up on the blades during the polish. They've got a 45 micron/emery buff working finish, A36 carbon steel bolsters...

I've been doing more and more flat grinds, so it was time to take the plunge right to the spine and make some kitchen knives. These are out of 52100 high carbon, with striped ebony handle scales, with stainless corby fasteners. It's hard to describe how sharp they are without using expletives...

Alright, Dogs - it's been a big couple of years and I've got the basics down. The product sells if I build it, at this point - so now it's time to ramp up for greater volume. I've got 1200 square feet to work in and some work on the bench that likely be getting myself and Black Wolf Armory...

I've been busy and have a lot of work to show off - here are some recently completed knives. The first batch is Alabama Damascus and CPM 3V for the tanto with polished, mitered 304 bolsters and stag jigged black buffalo horn handle scales. Also, a pair of my Rimfire pattern with some...

This has been a long time coming - I have a real pile of screwed up parts to show for it and a new appreciation for those who are at the top of their game with folding knives. This one is functional and tight with nothing more wrong with it than any off the shelf folder I've ever bought, I am...

The recent thread on some handle materials wanting to "blow out" during drilling got me thinking about the long, long list of expensive mistakes I've made regarding the fairly simple process of either installing scales or a hidden tang block. Here are some of my best ones, this can be read as a...

Knifedogs - I go through increasingly large quantities of elk antler each year and my local supply is running a little slow. I'm willing to trade either complete knives, blanks I grind and heat treat myself, or other labor for wrist diameter elk drop beams cut to 10-12" sections in fair...
