The majority of my knives are made by the Stock Removal method with some knives being Forge made. I make knives from several different stainless steels and carbon steels, tailored to the customer desire, use, and style of the knife. I also utilize handle materials in a wide range of synthetic and natural materials including exotic woods, ivory, etc. See below for the materials available.
Blade Steels:
Stainless steels: 440C, ATS34, CPM 154, CPMS30V, CPMS60V
High alloy carbon steels: CPM3V, CPM-M4, O1, W2, A2
Carbon steels: 1080, 1084, 1095, 5160, 52100
Handle materials:
Synthetic: Micarta, G10, G11 in all colors
Natural materials: exotic hardwoods, stabilized woods, composite woods (dymondwood), ivory, bone, antler, horn materials.
Each knife comes with a handmade sheath, either veg tanned leather (in several styles) or kydex synthetic. Sheaths can be in various colors and I frequently use exotic leathers (shark, lizard, ostrich, snake, etc.) as overlays or panels in leather sheaths. Check the knife pictures for the various types of sheaths made. I also can customize sheaths with initials or do a special design or carving on leather ones.
