Commissioned from me by a coworker for him mom's birthday. Made from 1095 and purple heart for the handle and stand. I forgot to measure this one, but I believe it would be between 4 and 5" of blade length. My first attempt at a knife stand.

Another one I made from a file. This one was a test to see how quickly I could make a blade from start to finish. Took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to forge, grind, heat treat with torch, clean, temper with torch, clean, stamp mark, and sharpen. Then later the same day attached handle made out of...

Forged this one from a very large file I found at an antique show. This is my first attempt at a swedge. Used black palm for the handle with a lanyard. Blade has a 12" edge with a 5" handle, making it 17" OAL. Mirror polished. I call this one Sparrow because its very long, narrow, and pointy.

This one I forged from a file I found at an antique show. It's about a 4.5" blade with a 4" handle, handle material is black and white ebony. This wood was very easy to sand to my surprise and feels like the smoothest I've done so far. Feels really great in the hand. Standard leather sheath to...

This knife I did during a 30 minute forging demo a few months ago for a group of coworkers. Forged from 1095 and is my first attempt at bluing a knife. 4.5" blade and 7.5" OAL. Handle material is marble wood I think.

Commissioned from a coworker, she wanted a small paring knife to cut vegetables and loves purple heart wood, hence the name I'm giving it, "Purple Veggie Eater". Made from 1095 about 4" blade length (yes there is a hamon), handle material is purple heart wood and this is my first wooden sheath...

Another one I started on about a year and a half ago. My aunt's birthday was coming up and she had said she wished she had something to cut open coconuts with. Luckily I had this laying around and finished it the night before her bday. Unfortunately, these are the only two pictures I have of it...

Originally this was going to be a test performance knife, but I decided to try something different and now I'm keeping it. I used a ball ping hammer to give it a textured look and I like it. It also caused it to curve which I also liked and decided to keep it this way instead of straightening it...

This is one I had started on over a year ago (maybe 2). Was originally going to be a chef knife, but it ended up cracking near the edge during heat treat. To recover it, I annealed, re-straightened and removed the hair-line crack by adding a curve to the edge. I simply decided to go with it by...

This knife believe it or not was also forged from a left over piece of a metal file used for a previous knife. This was my first attempt doing a lanyard hole tube, although the hole seems pretty small for 1/4", I'm not sure how useful it'll be. This was for the gift exchange yesterday. Wood was...

Another knife I forged from a metal file. This was my first time twisting the handle. Was originally meant for a gift exchange, but I decided to keep this one for myself instead. From start to a finished sharped knife took me about 3, maybe 4 hours tops to complete. Also my first time doing a...

This was commissioned from another coworker as a Christmas present for his 11 year old son that use to be in the cub scouts. Forged from 1095 steel and handle material is black palm. Close to 10" OAL. This knife was differential heat treated and tempered back with a blue spine (practice for when...

Knife forged from a metal file. The handle material is kirinite pepper jade from usaknifemakers. I was worried this would have a cheap feel to it like plastic, but it actually feels very nice in the hand and doesn't look bad.

This is my first chef knife made out of 1095. Also my first time doing metal bolsters from 416 stainless steel and first time doing white line spacers and my first hamon. Handle is all G10. This is also my first time doing any leather design work. Overall length is around 14 inches. Commissioned...

I thought I would share some pictures. Left it in a rough finish, used stainless pins, and first time using horse matt as handle material given to me as gift from George. Thanks again George! I also have a short clip of the heat treat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBiCjGe7w9E

This knife I completed last December, but took detail pictures of the process from start to finish (leaving out the sheath and sharpening). This is a stock removal process and I decided to make a simple knife for a gift giveaway at work. There's many ways to make a knife and this is just showing...

I have a neighbor who does a lot of fishing on his boat and really wanted a fillet knife. He insisted on stainless steel and a plastic handle to stand up against salt water. Since I don't have the means to heat treat stainless yet, I ordered a fillet knife blank from our good friends USA knife...

Sorry if the photos are not great, had to make do with my cell phone. This is my second knife. I decided to make a knife for my girlfriend for Christmas. Her favorite color is blue, so I went with blue G10 for the handle. Knife is made from 1080 steel and 7" in total length. It looks like a...
