Thanks for visiting. I take great pride in knifemaking. I personally make each knife "one-at-a-time". I don't have any employees - I'm a one-man knifemaker and leather craftsman. I use basic tools to forge and create each knife. Every stitch is done by hand - no machines used. When ordering a knife and placed on the waitlist, I don't require any pre-payment - just your patience.
PRICING
Prices vary depending on the knife style/design, materials (bone vs wood, steel type, etc). All my knives are handcrafted one-at-a-time by me using very basic tools as are my leather sheaths. My sheaths are all hand stitched and I only use genuine leather. Here's a basic price range:
Small Knives under 4" blade (like a neck knife) run $80 - $110.
Medium size knives 4"- 6"(Mescalero Dawn, Woodsman, etc.) run $100 - $150.
Large knives over 6" and/or require special grinding, materials, etching/embossing, (Bowies, Daggers, Custom Knives ) run $150 - $225.
These prices include shipping. I don't require any pre-payment. Once the knife is completed, I will send you photos of the knife and a paylink. Once paid, I ship the knife to you via USPS Priority Mail and send a tracking number. If you don't like the knife when I send you the photos or if you change your mind, there is never any obligation.
If you would like to be added to the waitlist or have additional questions or would like a quote, please send me an email.

I will email you to confirm if you still want the knife before I start making it.
I will email you and send you pictures and a paylink when the knife is finished.
After I send you photos and a paylink, you have NO OBLIGATION to buy it if you don't like it or no longer want it. I want you to be happy with your purchase.
If I do not receive an email response from a buyer after 5 days - I will not make the knife and/or I will place the knife for sale on my website.
