Thanks guys you are all too kind :)
Thank you for all of the kind comments everyone :)
I made this one to be the center piece in an upcoming show, it's a 2,000 layer modified multi bar jelly roll with a high carbon core. The steels used in the forging of this knife were 1084/1095/W2/...
Thanks for all the comments everyone :) Mike, it certainly was, light and elegant :(
So I haven't completely fallen off the face of the earth, I haven't had much time to do things online in quite a while other than the odd Facebook update. One of the main reasons for this has been my...
Thank you everyone for the kind words :)
Thank you everyone for your patience I just finished the knife not to long ago and sent it off to Scott Roush to photograph and he did a great job. Let me know what you all think. I ended up trying a...
Hey guys sorry I haven't responded, I was away for the past week or so. I have been working with this knife a fair bit over the past couple weeks and will be rounding the spine more and making some...
So this past week has been very frustrating and full of set backs. I have been working with W2 recently and this week I lost five blades to the quench which hasn't happened to me in years. :( One of...
Hello all, it has been a while since I have posted anything getting married can make one busy :D But I have been developing a new production line I wanted to show and get opinions on. I will be...
Thanks guys! :)
Here is a new one I just finished up today, this one was a fun build that everything just went well on. I actually forged this blade at Dave Dellagardelle's shop last weekend and he was kind enough...
Thanks ElevenBravo! :)
I lucked out on lighting at the end of the day and was able to snap some good photos showcasing the new camp chopper.

Thanks everyone. :) Okay so today was about finishing the handle and making the sheath. I ended up adding a pin (not recommended to ever do at this stage, but if you are careful you can do it.) and I...
Thanks for the comments everyone. Today was mostly about fitting the guard and would have taken up most of the day except I could sleep last night (up at 3:30 am) and so I was done fitting it by 7:30...
I have recently been very inspired by the work of Claudio Sobral and his harpoon points in particular, if you haven't seen his work you need to check it out! This recent inspiration resulted in the...
This is now SOLD!
I have a simple gentleman's bowie for sale. This was hand forged from 1084 and clayed to achieve a hamon. The handle is a laminate of stabilized snakewood and curly maple, the lamination is secured...
Thank you for the kind words everyone. Tundrabadger, it is the angle of the photo in regards to the tip but they are all pretty good at fine work, they still need to have their edges put on which...
Several months ago I was approached to do a limited edition line of chef's knives for a small company in New York. After much discussion of design they are almost done, all that remains is for the...
Thank you for the kind comments everyone...I new I had an interesting one when my fiance said, "You made a prop from last of the Mohicans!" :)
This one had several firsts for me. I was finally able to get my hands on some W2 for the first time and it was mostly a pleasure to work with. I have a piece big enough to get two knives out of and...
I recently finished up this tomahawk that has a bit of character. I gave it a flint knapped texture in addition to a three bar composite for the edge. The steels are 1084 and 15n20 with a 1018 body....
