Mirror Finish 101

It has been a pretty disappointing week… why is that. Well I had all the plans to finish up the 20 LE Rangers and get started on the next go round.  I decided knife making is like trying to make the impossible full court shot! One day you can go out there and sink it on the very first try, and the next day you can shoot until your arm falls off and never make it. 🙂 Knife making is no different. Sure the more you practice the easier it is but sometimes even with all the practice in the world you just can’t […]

2015 Blade Show

I have been wanting to attend the Blade Show for the last several years but up until now it hasn’t worked out. This is both exciting and sad at the same time.  Sad because I will be taking the place of my good friend and mentor Bill Davis.

Bill has been battling cancer for quite some time now, but like most older men I know they are tough! After losing my father in December, 2012 to cancer, it is hard to now watch Bill and his struggle with cancer. Bill suffered a stroke a little over a month ago but he didn’t let that slow him down unfortunately […]

Thank You, your donation has been processed, Bill Davis and Family thanks you!

Last weekend I had a great time at the 2015 BAM Ozark Conference. BAM (Blacksmith Association of Missouri) is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of the blacksmithing art and craft. I meet several other well known blade smiths there as well. The highlight of the weekend was watching Nathan Robertson from Jackpine Forge make all kinds of hammers and tooling on his 100+ pound Bradley Power Hammer. It was quite the impressive machine! Very quiet (overall except for the hammering part 😉 and smooth running.

Blacksmithing is one of those hobbies that the list of tools go on and on 😀 the good thing is, many blacksmiths make their own tools!

The Genesis Gen I

After months of getting a design together and lining up all the logistics of getting a production knife underway, we are just weeks away from the first run going out! This will be the first generation of the Genesis, there may be some changes to the design after some field testing and feedback. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the design once you have had some time to put it through the test. This is going to be a skeletonize knife, meaning it will not have a handle. You can use it like it is or wrap it in para-cord (there are many videos out there on para-cord wrapping and we may in […]

Today’s handle material post features chechen wood. Pictures are never as good as the real thing, but to give you an idea, this wood looks a lot like rosewood, but much lighter in color.

Chechen grows in Mexico and the Caribbean, and another name for the wood is poisonwood. The sap is an irritant on bare skin, and loggers have to take steps to protect themselves from the it when harvesting the wood. In dried wood, this isn’t an issue, but I always wear my respirator when I’m sanding regardless. It’s hard to live long enough to be a successful knife maker if you breath fine metal and wood dust all […]
