Welcome.  I started knifemaking in the fall of 1988 and at present am a part-time knifemaker. I do stock removal and a limited amount of hand forged damascus. I offer a limited line of models to the general public for purchase.  These styles are listed to the left and examples of current models available are within each section.  Custom designs are welcome for review and price quote.

Blade Material and Heat Treating:

Knife steels include ATS-34, 440C, 440V (stainless), and Damascus/High-Carbon Combination and/or stainless.  All heat treating in house in an electronic controlled heat treating oven.  All profiling, grinding, etc. is done in house by me.  

Handle Materials:

A variety of handle materials are available upon request.  Tactical knives are the only model that is limited to micarta as it is the toughest handle material available for these knives.

Sheaths:

Tactical knives are furnished with custom molded kydex sheaths.  Fancy knives come with appropriate leather sheaths.
