CUSTOM PARING KNIFE
CUSTOM PARING KNIFE

A repeat customer (and now friend) wanted a custom paring knife based on a very inexpensive paring knife that he purchased years ago from a “big-box” store. This is his “go to” knife in the kitchen. We modified the overall look quite a bit, but retained almost the exact size and overall shape of the blade and the feel of the handle. The handle is made of a leftover piece of a 40+ year old Cherry burl that I used in another knife for him. The blade is forged from Hitachi White Paper Steel #2 that was quenched with clay to produce a distinct Hamon Line. There is a brass ferrule and a “dog paw” mosaic pin. The blade is as thin (in thickness) as his previous knife. I hope this becomes his '“go to” in the future.

HAPPY RETIREMENT
HAPPY RETIREMENT

After 48 years as the CEO of the Presbyterian Homes of Georgia, retirement may come hard, but this is what happened on January 30, 2020. This gentleman’s sister commissioned me to make him a custom field knife or EDC. We worked on a design and all the particulars. The end result is this knife hand forged from 80CrV2 with a blade length of 3 1/2” (overall length of 8 9/16”). The handle is stabilized English Walnut with peened nickel silver peens and a central “dog paw” mosaic pin. This was a great project. I really enjoyed working with his sister and hope this knife provides years of faithful service.

Just finished this custom integral kitchen knife. Hand forged from a 1” round bar of 1095/15N20 “firestorm” pattern welded damascus. The blade is 7 5/8” long (max. width: 1 1/4”) and has an overall length of 12 7/8”. Arizona Desert Ironwood was used for the handle with copper spacers, mosaic pin and an end cap of the same damascus. Full tang construction with the tang peened onto end cap. I hope it is enjoyed for years.
