My Woods Knife

Here's a new model I just finished. This is the largest knife I have finished to date. It's a good sized knife with a nice 1.5" wide blade that will take the abuse and still slice well. This blade has a high convex saber grind with a convex micro bevel and etched flats. I do a very slight convex, almost flat.

Here are the specs:

Handles - OD Green Canvas and Natural Linen over Natural Linen and Black G-10 with Natural Pins
OAL - 9.875"
Blade Length - 5"
Blade Thickness - .145"
Blade Steel - CPM 154CM @ 58-59 RC

Bushcraft EDC

This is a knife I did a while ago.  It is designed as a smaller bushcraft knife that can be brought along on day hikes with minimal weight and size but able to tackle big tasks.  Here's one in black burlap and another in white linen.  Specs:

OAL: 7.45"
Blade Length: 3.125
Blade Thickness: .111"
Steel: CPM 154CM







STK-Slim Task Knife

This knife is one that I made to accomplish those day to day tasks.  Before I made and carried knives I would always reach for one of the cheap steak knives in the kitchen drawer for those times when I need to open a box or cut a string real quick.  This one also has a new design aspect that I plan to incorporate into my knives,  an accent band.  Here are the specs on this one:

Handles - White linen and Black Burlap over Black G-10 and Natural Linen with Natural Linen Pins.
OAL - 7.75"
Blade Length - 3.25"
Blade Thickness - .121"
Blade Steel - 1095 @ 58 RC





Well, here we go.

I have been asked many times if I had some type of website to display the knives I have made and the models I sell.  So here it is.  I will try in the immediate future to post pics of my knives as well as some work in progress and general knife making info.

First off I will start with a knife that I made for a good friend of mine, Joe Fowler.  I had been sketching a number of designs for a Nessmuk style knife for a while and never was able to pin down a design that I liked.  Joe found out I was making knives and made a few suggestions for my Muk design.  As a result I made one for Joe that turned out quite nice.  He chose the colors and I made some suggestions on the handle layout and this is what we came up with.

The specs are:

Handles - Ivory Paper Micarta and Natrual Canvas Micarta over Natural Canvas Micarta with Orange G-10 accents, a Mosaic Pin and Natural Pins.
OAL - 9.125"
Blade Length - 4.25"
Blade Thickness - .121"
Blade Steel - 1095 @ 58 RC that has been etched and hand rubbed.
