Rick loves a challenge.

Wildertools fabricates high-end, custom knives and leather products used by outdoor enthusiasts, art knife collectors, sailors, chefs, re-enactors, historic replica consumers and military personnel. The Story:

Wildertools founder Rick Marchand, an avid outdoor enthusiast, had always manipulated and redesigned his personal gear to outlast and outperform it's original intent. In 2007, he met master

bladesmith Wally Hayes and was introduced to the world of knifemaking. With his creativity and years of technical experience in the Tool and Die industry, Rick found he was able to design and produce tools he loved. It didn't take long for others to take notice and start ordering knives for themselves and so Rick quit his day job and Wildertools was born. Some of his favourite designs have been inspired by his clients who've come to him with a list of issues and needs required in a tool. To that end, Rick has always produced an impressive hard working tool that turns heads. Rick's custom knives have continued to gain a reputation for their unique rugged appearance, workmanship and ability to withstand heavy use and still maintain an edge. His work is sought around the world and continues to gain in popularity. You can find Rick online on multiple forums where he is sought by many for his friendly advice on knifemaking and outdoor survival or visit him at his shop in beautiful Lunenburg, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.

It still catches me off guard. It does not look like this knife is hiding in that steel round. It started from exactly that size. 7/8” dia x 2” long. The knife is 13.5” long, with just under a 1/8” spine thickness. I lost a bit of mass, but that is unavoidable.
