Materials

I work with top grade

materials because in

order to make a superior knife

you must use superior materials.


M A T E R I A L S

 

I spare no expense when selecting the materials to make my knives.  I strive to provide all of my customers with a superior quality item, which can be enjoyed for years.
 

Steel: 

My primary steels are ATS-34 and CPM S30V.  I also enjoy working with stainless steel Damascus.  

My blades are heat treated to 58-60 RC with a cryogenic Quench.

Handles:

I use a wide variety of handle material, my preference being stabilized woods, Horn and G-10.  Handles are custom designed to fit the style and purpose of each knife. 


Knives

When you purchase one of my knives, you will know that you own a knife which was made by someone who takes great pride in his work, creating the knife out of raw materials, carefully sculpting, heat treating, and finishing it.  Each knife is individually handcrafted and I strive for superior quality in each knife.
