A good friend asked me to make him an Orbis with a blade that is based on Walter Brend's knives. Since I'm a big fan of mr Brend, I accepted the challenge. The blade is forged out of a block of O1 toolsteel, has a blade of 11 inches....here are the first pictures: My mini press...

Knifemaker Erik Markman and I made a deal, he would build me a knife and I will build him one. Because Erik is less lazy than me, I received my knife last week. I gave it a Flat Dark Earth coating an here it is, a beautiful tactical integral! Model: Taurus 12 Blade length: 5" Steel: O1...

Today I finished a Bull Shark M. Black GunKote coating and OD green micarta grip. Steel is CruForge V this time, an excellent steel for a user in my opinion. Ingredients of the steel: C: 1.05 Cr: 0.50 V: 0.75 M: 0.75 Here are some pictures:

I started on an Orbis 10 and thought it would be nice to take pictures of the whole process. The Orbis 10 is an integral bowie styled user knife. This one will get a double guard, only the upper guard will be just high enough to place a lanyard hole in it. It will get a brown micarta handle and...

It's December so I decided to get myself a present! Unfortunately I had to make it myself.....;) I made an Orbis 6, Cerakote coating, stabilized Maple burl grip. Sheath I still have to make. The knife is forged out of 1 piece of 1.2510 (O1), which makes it a half integral. Steel...

The orange keeps on coming back in my knives lately.... Bull Shark M, black linnen micarta grip, orange and black G10 liners, 1.2510 steel selectively hardened, graphite black CeraKote finish and last but not least a hardened pommel. Sheath will follow.

This is a slightly different Bull Shark then I normally make. It has no recurve and no coating (ok just a little on the back for rust prevention and because I have a hard time not coating these blades :D) Other than that it is the same as all others: Steel: 1.2510 selectively hardened Grip...

For the Dutch Knife Exhibition I wanted to make a prototype of one of the Orbis family. In this case one with a double guard. The Orbis series are of half integral construction but I did not make a double guarded one before, just designed it. The end result is pretty much what I was looking for...

Two knives of a set of three. The big bowie is made out of Ladder Damascus (O1 & 75ni8 ), twist Damascus for the guard and a line damascus for the spacer. New Silver spacer, Olive handle and Damascus pommel. The hunter has the same build up, but for some reason this knife did not wanted to be...

I'm working on an order for a customer that came to a stand still when my forge broke down. So I started this Bull Shark - M for a buddy of mine. I took some pics of the work in progress, thought it would be nice to show them here. Steel: Cru Forge V Thickness: 6mm Scales: Green/Black...
