... A Bit Different
|
|
Sometimes you just have make something a little different.
One of the things I love about making knives
is...pretty much anything is possible. Here are some of the examples of
things...well...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

The Reaper's Kama
|
|

|
|
Here's another somewhat off the beaten path. This sickle
has a double ground blade and fork of
pattern welded steel about 22" from tip to tip. The 5" bottom spike is from
the same billet. The shaft
is 3' of Ebony with para-cord wraps/knots, stabilized Buffalo horn end caps
with Red Jasper spacers
and nickle "hob-nails". The shaft eye has a domed, stainless steel set
pin.
Price for a similar piece: $2,500.00 |

"Horseshoe" Knives
|
|

|
|
Our "Shoe" knives are
actual horseshoes cut in half with acid etched, forge marked 1084 blades
forge welded into the
cut. The other end (tip) of the shoe is split and scrolled. These knives
come in right and left handed and normally
have blades between 3"-4". All come with tooled leather belt sheaths.
Price for a similar piece, with leather sheath: $200.00 |

The Toast Cutter
|
|
 |
|
This piece is definitely a bit different. It is the knife
I made for Gabe Newell's "Toast-Cutter" contest...basically
a more creative way to remove the crust from slices of toast. My entry knife
had a blade with two 90 degree bends
made from a single piece of my 500 layer high carbon damascus and file
worked. The neck is peined into the
blade. The neck and guard of this knife are from the same damascus billet as
the blade and the neck is also file
worked. The handle is a solid warthog tusk with a throat of malachite and a
black spacer. Comes with a
Quilted/Curly Maple cutting board. (You can e-mail me for more detailed
photos.)

One-Armed Knife
|
|
 |
|
This knife is best known for it's use after the Civil War
as an eating utensil for those soldiers who
had lost a hand/arm in combat, acting as both a one-handed knife and fork.
This knife was made
from 52100 steel with a hand-rubbed finish. The handle is Desert Ironwood
Burl with black liners,
stainless steel handle bolts and lanyard liner and a matching Ironwood fob.
The knife comes with a
carved leather case with a "woodland squirrel" motif.

HC Twist Damascus Railroad Spike, NY
|
|
 |
|
This spike is from the NY lines. It is an old spike
that was stamped HC on the head
and has a fine grain of it's own in addition to the added L-6 steel in the
blade's twist.
The blade (sharpened area) is 4 1/2", 9" total length. The rises on the
twisted handle
and the spike head are mirror polished.
Price for a similar piece, with tooled leather sheath: $300.00 |
