My Knives

I currently use D2 tool steel exclusively for all of my knife models. I believe it serves well for the intended use of my knives.  I do plan on trying other steels as time goes on and compare them to D2.  I heat treat and cryogenically treat all of my knives.  In early 2009 I started cryogenically treating my knives to give them an extra 1-2 points hardness on the Rockwell scale.  I triple draw (temper) my knives after heat treating.  With this process I have found a good combination that allows my knives to keep their edge for a very long time.  I have yet to receive any negative feedback on my knives edge holding ability, I've heard only praise.

I draw out and design all of my own knives.  I'd be lying if I said I don't take ideas from other knifemaker's knives, for we all do this.  Some models prove more fruitful than others; take for example my Model #6 & #6-L, my deer knives.  This knife is very ergonomically friendly to your hand when using it and due to this it's my best selling knife to date.

I hope to start making some liner lock folders soon and then perhaps some slip joint folders.  All of these are still a little ways away but getting closer.  This will be a new arena for me so I'm excited about the possibilities!
