Custom requests for Order Book:
I will accept custo

m requests within reason. If I feel that the request is not in line with what I would like to do or that it would not reflect my work, I reserve the right to respectfully decline the request. I just don't want to turn out work that I am not going to be happy with, so I would like to have the final say on all order. Warranty:
All Knives are guaranteed against material and workmanship for the owner. Should the knife fail during its intended use, it will be repaired or replaced free of charge. Any modification or tempering will void all warranties. Please don't try to fix things yourself, I have seen people take apart a knife they just acquired for cleaning etc. either break something during assembly or cause further problems. Natural materials, normal wear, or damage caused by misuse, neglect, or stupidity are not covered under any circumstances. Modifications:
Modification requests will be accepted at my discretion, I reserve the right not to modify any knife after its sale without giving any reason. Any batch order or such collaboration knives will not be modified. Due to the heavy schedule and no time, all work will be at a cost starting at minimum $150 (3hrs) + return shipping with insurance and $50/hr after that plus materials. Sharpening:
Sharpening service will be available to the owners as long as the knife has not been modified and as long as return shipping with insurance is covered

(All work will be done as early as possible schedule allowing – so be patient)

My first YouTube video goes live at 6PM CDST. I know most of the people on my list are either RL friend, family or involved in the custom knife world but I'd appreciate it if you go give it a watch and a like... and if your feeling generous go ahead and subscribe😃

It's a pretty bad video but all these YouTube guru's are saying you have to post some bad video's at first to get better so just do it.... that's what I'm doing.

My knifemaking channel will be coming in late fall or early winter when I can get out and make some damascus without boiling my brain.

Here's the link to the video:

I've been getting questions about making these model 10s in different colors, so here is the situation...

I'm looking for a full time job and while I'm working on that I'll be working in the shop making these model 10s, I've priced them so low that I can't waste a lot of time or money on them, but if you want a different color g10 you can send me a $25 deposit and I'll make one in that color in the next batch. The price is $275 + $15 shipping, you get a model 10 with blasted/tumbled blade (AEB-L) and liners, g10 scales and a store bought pocket clip. As stated in the sale post yesterday, these are still hand made by me, so it'll take about a week for me to make 3 of them.

AVAILABLE: Model 10, $300 +$15 shipping

This is the first of a batch of 3 bare bones model 10s I'm working on, this one is a little different from the other 2 because I under cut the scales, the others will have full scales and will be a little cheaper. These are all handmade by me just as they always are. The blade is 3.2" AEB-L, .100" thick, 4.4" handle, .080" titanium liners with red G10 scales and back spacer. Store bought deep carry pocket clip (tip up carry).

Message me if you are interested, the other two will be finished tomorrow or by the end of the weekend.

I'm sorry about the poor video quality here, I really miss my old phone. The scales on this knife are some old laminated wood I've had stashed away for maybe 15 years, its a deep brown with grain visible and polished. Nothing I did would make it show up in the video.

AVAILABLE: Model 114, 3.6" D2 blade, 1/8" thick, 4.6" closed, runs on cage bearings, .08" ti liners, laminated wood scales and a ti clip.

Price is $600 shipped (U.S.)
