The first custom field knife of 2020 is leaving the forge for its new home in Montgomery, Alabama. Forged from 1095/15N20 pattern-welded damascus with Cocobolo scales, peened copper pins and a central ”dog paw” mosaic pin. This knife is incredibly sharp! Good start to the new year and decade. Thanks.
Read MoreJust 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.
Read MoreThese field knives, forged from O1 tool steel, were made as a Christmas present for 3 lifelong friends and 1 of their sons. They are full tang and based on the same design and size (blade about 3” and overall length about 8 1/4”). The handle material for each was determined by the preference of its future owner. From left to right: vintage Westinghouse bleached linen Micarta (30+ yo), Cocobolo, brown canvas burlap phenolic laminate and Arizona Desert Ironwood burl. This was a fun project and I wish each a Merry Christmas and many more years of friendship and outdoor adventures together. Thank you for this opportunity.
Read MoreI really like the California Buckeye handle and the integral blade I made for this Kitchen Knife.
The blade was forged from a 5/8” 01 round bar.
