These knives are built with materials that exceed the norm. Some of the
scale material thats used leans on the rare side, either being difficult to
obtain or having characteristics that make them impossible to obtain
more than once. Some of the Damascus used has the pattern forged into
the shape of the bolsters and blades and has been taken up to a mirror
polish upon finishing and then hot salt blued.
The amount of hours in building such a knife also exceeds the norm as
thick Damascus liners have to be tapped by hand, more careful amounts
of milling with carbide mills, shaping and hand finishing, inlaying of
exotic shells and hours of painstaking filework accomplished with only
hand files (our labor of love!).
Most of the knives shown here are a reflection of the clients own
personal ideas that have been woven into our style and use of
presentation materials. A great amount of involvement from a client
always yields a knife that can never again be replicated and gives a
deeper appreciation and personal satisfaction to its owner.
The combination of such exotic materials and personal chosen themes
from the client end with the completion of a highly artistic one-of-a-kind
custom knife that can be proudly displayed amongst friends and passed
along to family members. We consider these pieces more than just a
mere custom knife and have therefore dedicated this portion of our
web-site to such knives that have been wrapped in piles of artistic
appeal, style and materials. Click onto the pics below to view full
