Picture of the midnight sun taken at Polaris Mine, which is a lead/zinc mine.


 The location is 100 miles north of Resolute, Little Cornwallis Island.  This is the most northern mine in Canada.

Some of the pictures below were taking during the decommissioning of this mine.  View a video of arctic diver testing one of my knives below.

Video testing knife durability and strength

All my knives are warranted to the original purchaser against defects in workmanship or material for as long as you own the knife, if properly used and cared for, and not abused.


This diver illustrates how strong and durable my knives are.  Knife blade is CPM S30V.
Please note:  This is a demonstration of what NOT to do with a knife!...

Walrus joining the drilling process!

We were drilling test holes through the ice when this walrus decided to join us. All I could think of is ... how many knife handles I could make out of those tusks.
