It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here, regrettably, much has happened, like the covid outbreak, so much has not happened, like the flow of business, in our town, and threw my shop doors. so after thirty-five years of smithing and knife making , it's time to shut her down and close it up. I have a great many things to part with, which I will post, but without prices since I don't need the hassle from FB police, so if your a practicing smith, or would like too, or even know someone who does, spread the word. I can be reached on here or here, 307-921-2445

Many folks have asked what types of sheaths I offer for my knives so I thought I would post some pics of the three types I build so you can see what they look like. All my sheaths have a hardwood liner made just for the blade it comes with. All are made with heavy duty veg tanned leather. They are pouch type, cross draw type, or mountain man style.

This is another knife I just finished for my good friend Jay. He wanted some silver wire inlay and gave me free expression. I've been wire inlaying for a good long time but have never done anything in wildlife scenes, so I didn't expect greatness. It was not as easy as I'd imagined, but something I'll continue to practice in the future if it's something folks want. Blade is of 52100 ball bearing, with a steel guard, full tapered tang, and curly maple handle, with of course, fine silver wire. Please click on photo's to enlarge.

It's been a while due to family matters but I'm back in the saddle and finished up a couple orders that I'm ready to show.

First is a Bowie I created for my cousin Mike. It's forged from high carbon steel with steel guard and spacer, and a flaming oak handle
