If I could pick a knife to have with me in the wilderness - the Zia Knife is my pick. This knife pays homage to the American Southwest.

It is designed to be a jack-of-all-trades.

Custom Knife Work

Below are photos of custom knives I've crafted for customers. I use 1095 high carbon and 5160 spring steel. The "Fast Hand" below was made out of a truck leaf spring. I also have built knives using the popular and classic Mora Knife blade. I've used Elk jaw bone to make knife handles and even a sheath! I've made custom sheaths for customers who had a family heirloom knife in need of a sheath. I've made theme inspired knives, such as the Roman Legion inspired Mora Knife below. I'm willing to push the limits on creating traditional and rustic knives to create a functional work of art.
