Happy Hooker....a pair of 18th century style heart hooks made by student Derek Carpenter in my basic blacksmithing class.  The bar in front is what the hooks started as.  Well-done Derek!  Want to learn 'smithing? I can hel
Recycle!  Here is a 10.5" blade French Cooks knife I forged from a Peerless saw blade.  This exceptionally tough steel makes a fine blade when completely re heat-treated.  This knife sports handle scales of hard Maple, with
Big hand-forged barn door handle & grab plate.  16" handle, forged & fabricated steel.  Made for a local farmer.  These handles help offset the weight of the door when sliding because of their weight and leverage
Www.grants
Doin' Damascus....this is how a Damascus blade is born, from left to right;  first begins as a 30-layer  "stack", then is forge-welded and folded  into a strip or "billet"....in this case, 120 layers.  Finally, the bullet i
More recycling....here is a 9.5" cook's knife, finished in the "German" style.  German knives are typically wider in relation to their length than the French style; they are also stiffer.  These knives perform well on root
Here is basic smithing student Nicholas Lamana doing the final bends on a "heart hook".  Yes, it is red hot.  This lad has the makings of a smith.
A fine 4" blade clip-point hunter hand made by student Kent Rotchy, in the basic bladesmithing course.   Knife features a fully hand-forged blade of O-1 took steel, brass bolster and fiddleback maple handle.  Nice work, Ken

American Drop Point.  Offered for sale is my latest hunting knife, a 4.5" blade drop-point.  Drop points became popular in the 1970s among those who wanted more control at the tip.  This knife features a blade of hand-forge
Recycling...North Idaho-style.  A 40" firewood/log holder made from two early 20th century steel wagon tires.  Fabricated and forged steel, private commission.  This will hold A Lot of wood...
Here is student Caleb Pease testing the blade he hand forged in my basic bladesmith course.  His blade shaved an iron bar without dulling.  Well done, Caleb!
I'm a bee-landlord now.........I thought the bees would be more aggressive than they are.  Maybe they are Bee-Buddhists.
Kitchen Pals:  A 10" roast-slicer and a 6" utility slicer of 66 layer "pups n' hounds" damascus.  Organically shaped handles of walnut burl, tiger maple and bloodwood.  Naval brass bolsters and spacers to add balance to sli
My wife, an enthusiastic cook, had no cleaver for her SheShack!  And the cobbler's children had no shoes....Anyway, I made her one from the suspension spring of a Ford pickup.  It features a cocobolo wood handle and weight-
A Big Knife.......Here is a 9" bladed butcher forged from a 20" Peerless saw blade from a local mill.  I hand forged it from the series 8670 blade....very tough material.  This one went to Ed Hanson, a local Master of Meat
Nessmuk!  Yes, that's what this pattern of blade is known as.  Named for George Washington "Nessmuk" Sears (1821-1890) a noted outdoorsman whose 1882  book "Camping and Woodcraft" is still in print.  He described this blade
4.5" Damascus Nessmuk knife with its hand-sewn harlequin pattern leather sheath.  Tooled from 9oz. oak tanned leather, hand carved & dyed.  Yeah...ya have to make the sheaths, too.  Handsome is as handsome does.  I hope you
