About the knives

I make all my knives by hand, from scratch. I use two different methods to build my knives. 

Forged Blade: If I forge the knife (profile and bevel) before finishing it on the grinder, it is listed as a hand forged knife in the product description. This method allows me to use a variety of stock size and shape.

Stock Removal: Many of the knives I make I use a method called stock removal. The blade is cut and ground from a flat bar of steel instead of forged. This is all done by hand, and I list it as a hand made knife.

Each blade whether forged or ground is then finished in the same manner.

I use both methods depending on the particular knife I'm building. Some projects work better with one or the other. In either case you're getting a 100% hand made knife that will provide excellent performance in the work for which it was designed.

Below are photos of the progression of a forged blade, a video on my stock removal, and a video series on forging  pattern welded Damascus knife.

I strive to make the highest quality knife I can. I continue to educate myself in metallurgy, fit and finish, and general bladesmithing knowledge. The result is a knife that will perform beyond expectation and last generations to come.
