Hey there! Long time no see. The blade for this knife was actually ready since last summer. However, because I thought it looks very nice, I was reluctant to finish the knife, from fear of messing it up. I manned Read more

I originally made two blades for the Fairbairn Sykes dagger project, but did not get around to finishing it. Until now, that is. This one has a brass handle, which should be more true to the orginal. It definitely has Read more
This was supposed to be a copy of a knife made by Robert Erickson, and although the blade turned out ok, the handle looks nothing like the original. I can’t shake the feeling that the whole thing looks like a Read more
This one took a while to finish. The blade was finished even before the summer started, but then other projects got in the way and here we are. Originally the blade was meant to have a bright, hand rubbed finish, Read more

Things were going well, until they weren’t. If set aside the asymmetric scales, scratched finish on the blade, sloppy solder job and about a dozen other things, this knife could have been ok. But the crater left after the etching Read more
This is a knife of many firsts: my first through tang construction, first milled brass bolster, first handle that has a bit more sculpting in it. There is a LOT to improve, but nevertheless, I am a happy camper. This Read more
