CUSTOM KNIVES
A truly custom knife is made to the customer’s personal needs and preferences. We begin with a drawing generated by both the customer and myself. The customer then decides what properties are important to him in a knife. Shape, weight, blade thickness, blade material, handle material, and balance are a few properties to consider when building the knife. How the customer will use the knife is one of the major factors that will determine the construction of the knife. We have many grades of stainless, carbon and Damascus blade materials to choose from and hundreds of handle, guard, bolster and pin materials. Your requirements and imagination are the only limits. All knives are available with stands and/or sheaths.
