I make handmade knives from high carbon steel — bold, durable blades with soul. Each knife is forged, ground, and finished by hand to bring out the best in the steel: sharpness, edge retention, and a character that only time and use can deepen.

What I offer

• High-carbon steel blades (1095, 1080, or similar) chosen for toughness and ease of resharpening.

• Full-tang construction or custom tang profiles for strength and balance.

• Hand-shaped handles in wood, micarta, stabilized wood, or leather-wrapped options.

• Heat treatment tailored for each blade to optimize hardness and toughness.

• Custom finishes: satin, stonewashed, acid-etched, or hand-polished.

• Optional engraving, maker’s marks, and personalized stamps.

Why high carbon?

• Excellent edge-holding and ease of sharpening.

• More responsive and tuneable heat treatment than stainless options.

• Takes a patina over time that protects the blade and tells its story.

Care notes

• Keep the blade dry and wipe after use to prevent rust.

• Apply a light coat of oil for longer-term storage.

• Re-sharpen with stones or a guided system; high carbon takes a keen, crisp edge.

• Avoid acidic foods or prolonged exposure to moisture when possible.

Ordering & customization

• Standard sizes and profiles available: chef’s, utility, paring, bushcraft, and fixed-blade camp knives.

• Fully custom commissions welcome: choose blade length, grind, handle material, finish, and sheath options.

• Lead times vary by project scope; bespoke pieces often require several weeks.

• Pricing depends on materials and complexity—contact me with your ideal specs and budget, and I’ll send an estimate.

If you want a knife that’s made to be used, loved, and passed on, tell me:

• Intended use (kitchen, outdoors, EDC, collection)

• Preferred blade length and profile

• Handle material preference

• Any special requests (engraving, sheath style, balance priority)
