What I Make
I have a few designs that I like so much that I’m willing to do them over and over. They fall into three categories that for me are the perfect blend of functionality and fun.
This outdoor knife was hand forged out of 5160 carbon steel. It was designed for heavy work, heat treated for both strength and durability. It is a full tang handle construction with hickory wood material.

Custom Orders
But it’s way more fun to create something that is totally unique - a one of a kind item that no one else will ever own.
When I started this business, I made the decision to use it as a tool to fight for issues that I am passionate about. One way I do this is with my giveaways.
I make free swords for people doing their part to spread awareness about important issues related to wildlife and wilderness conservation!
