I prefer to make drop point, fighter and Bowie type knives. I enjoy making knives. I like to forge my knife blades out of 1085 and 5160 steel. Both of these types of steel have fairly high carbon content and are fairly forgiving when forged. My knife blades are normalized three times. This gives the blade a consistent and compact grain structure. After the blade is ground to the desired appearance, it is quenched in oil to harden it. Now, the blade is tempered to allow it to bend and not break This process produces a superior knife blade.

I can make a blade from 0-1, 52100, or 440C, but prefer using 1085 or 5160. I  usually make whatever I feel like making at the time. I will occasionally have knives already made and available for sale. I pride myself in doing good work and try to make each knife better than the last. To do this, I take my time when making the knife. I want my customers to be pleased with their purchase.

Generally, a drop point knife with wooden handle will cost around $100. A fighter will cost around $150 and depends on what type of handle material you request.  A Bowie will cost around $150 and the price will also depend on the type of handle material and embellishments requested.  These prices do not include shipping and insurance.

I will warranty my knives as long as they are not abused or used for purposes other than they were designed. The knives should not be used to pry with nor should they be thrown.

I make my knives to the best of my ability.  If you request a knife that I may not be able to complete, I will tell you so.  If this happens, I will gladly refer you to another knifemaking member of the American Bladesmith Society or Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association.
