I do all of my own work on every knife from start to finish. Even the shipping and running my website! Making knives is my daily passion. My knives are 100% handcrafted by me in the U.S.A.
How long does it take to make a knife?
Any knife I craft can take approximately 3 days to build. Depending on the design of the knife and sheath; it could take longer.
How much do your knives cost?
It depends on the overall design and time required to make. Generally, most of my knives fall in the $100 price range - not too pricey considering you are purchasing an individually handcrafted knife made in the USA.
Special designs using game jaws, bone, or other unique handle materials may cost more due to the time required to make.
Are your knives new? They look vintage.
I personally handcraft all my knives and sheaths. I use basic tools. I don't mass produce knives with fancy machinery. My knives each have their own characteristics and uniqueness.
My knives are made from steel bar stock removal and/or are forged from high carbon steel and may have hammer marks, forge scale marks, etc. depending on how the knife was crafted.
I try to follow traditional knife making methods and my knives are inspired by early frontier knives that were carried by North American explorers, natives, traders, soldiers, and mountain men.

How do I care for my knife?
Rust is the #1 enemy of a carbon steel knife. Simply clean and wipe your knife with mineral oil, knife oil, or a cooking oil.
Apply a wood preservative on your wood handles such as boiled linseed oil.
Apply a leather conditioner to your sheath to keep it soft and prevent moisture penetration.
Store your knife dry with a light coat of oil of your choice on the blade.
Sharpen as necessary using a diamond sharpener or Arkansas stone and hone with a leather strop.
Will the patina on my knife change?
Yes. As you use your knife the blade patina will change. It may lighten to a gray color as you cut into dry items and may turn darker when exposed to foods or items that are acidic. Blade patina changes are normal with high carbon steel and makes for a unique looking knife over time.
Do you use chemical blueing on your knives?
NO. I do not use any harmful blueing chemicals to patina/and or blacken my knives. I use natural elements such as salts, vinegar, water, natural oils, time, etc. to patina/blacken my blades.
