Doing a set of 3 with different handle materials
This blog is an account of my first attempts at knifemaking over the past couple of years. I started like a lot of people did -wanting a quality hunting knife and not being satisfied with the run of the mill import products and not having enough cash to buy a custom one. I set about to make one after much reading and doing web research on the various techniques,materials and contruction methods.If you are interested in getting one made please contact me.

Bigger Plans
Just got a new shipment of steel and supplies from http://www.knifemaker.ca/ in Alberta, great place to deal with , shipped quickly. I am working with some CPMD2 semi stainless and hoping to make some more durable knives . I presently have an order for a custom hunter and I am working on a butcher knife and a fillet knife as well . I have been experimenting with UHMW (cutting board type material) for a durable butcher knife handle that can be textured to prove excelent grip while still being comfortable in the hand.
I am planning on getting up an inventory of available knives and getting some custom orders .. to expand my business. My brother is presently working on business cards and who knows maybe a website next !
