Welcome to my latest projects page, this is where ill post my latest creations and show pictures of collaborations im doing with fellow clients, and chime in on my quest for the tough steel!
The OKCA show was awesome, thanks to all who purchased my wonderfull damascus neckers, sales have continued on the Blade Forum.com website, and im preparing to do a second run of 10-15, NorthwestKnives and Collectables made a purchase and inquiry into some aswell!
So... having said that and got my first show under my belt im really excited about the upcoming months, i came back to the shop with some wonderfull ATS-34 stainless in 3/16", this size really compliments a deep hollow and nice taper in the tang and is going to be the foundation for the " Barracuda" line of 9" upswept hunters, and "the NW Settler" general carry knives, that im already creating today.

This is the original necker, and one of my personal carries, shown in a layout that has been scribed in dykem ontop of the actual steel billet!
This design was then refined by suggestion and addition of the 3 holes down the center by my friend and knife making mentor Brett Mathews, this design aspect became pivotal in the retention side of the boltron sheath design, that was put together by Chris Harder at TacticalAnt.com, his sheath designs are wonderfull and his eye for drawing knives isnt to shabby either!! Im really enjoying the response to this knife and really havent come up with a name other than what it is, maybe at some point we'll poll a name for it? Stay tuned evoryone.

This is another damascus necker that i created for a customer and will be making available via the shows and websites.
The one pictured has canvas maicarta scales mosaic pins, white/red/white liners, brasslined lanyard hole, the blade is hollow ground, and the sheath is hand made by myself.

As mean as it looks...this knife has been being punished but is as nasty as ever stay tuned for display of its shearing ability!!
