My Process
Hand made in my backyard shop from start to finish!
I order my steel from one of the best suppliers in the business, providing superior quality and performance. I offer both AEBL Stainless and 80crv2 High Carbon depending on personal preference.
The wood I use for handles are typically Hawaiian Koa/Mango, Old Growth Redwood, Desert Ironwood, among other beautiful options. All the wood is professionally stabilized for durability, strength and long-lasting use.
I have an Evenheat Kiln, providing a controlled enviornment, which guarantees the best in-house heat treat a knife can ask for. This is what “gives the knife it’s soul” and makes the tool have the highest levels of performance.
Each knife is an one of a kind build and unique to every client. After the materials have been aquired, the steel prepared, I grind, hand sand the steel, epoxy the handles, shape and polish the handles to their final form. Making functional art that will serve you as a valuable tool for many lifetimes.
Sayas, Kydex and Hand-Stitched Leather Sheaths
Every knife will come with a hand made saya, kydex or leather sheath. It is essential for any blade to have something to store and/or carry the tool with. I make this detail from beginning to end as well and provide a custom fit for each knife.
