Knife handle pictured is made with tropical hardwood. I am a woodworker not a metalsmith so I leave the knife blade making to others. My job is to make a beautiful handle for your knife blade. I started with figured Cocobolo wood. I attach the wood handle with three concealed brass pins and epoxy glue. I shape and then sand the wood handle silky smooth with up to 1000 grit sand paper. I finish the handle with tung oil which makes the richness of the wood grain and color come out and gives a natural look. Then the handle is buffed with natural waxes. The color and figuring of the handle scales is really unusual and stunning to see, combined with the powerful feel of this knife, makes a really beautiful and functional piece of art. This fixed blade is made commercially by Wood River Knives from 6A high carbon stainless steel. This high-quality knife is 8-1/2" overall length; 4-1/4 blade length, is single edged and has a false edge on the back just for looks! This is a great general-purpose hunting, fishing or camping knife. Google Wood River Knives for technical information about their blades. The blade can come in a satin finish or for additional cost polished to a semi-gloss luster; see photo examples. Handmade knife sheath is included in purchase price see other knifes of this style for photo.
Studio Northern Lights
Officially started my woodworking business in 1998 but I have been woodworking for over 35 years. Recently my woodworks include small craft gift items to be sold over the internet and are easily mailed to customers. Other woodworking experience includes cabinet maker, trim carpenter, door installer and custom trim mill worker. Some custom jobs include: shelves, vanities, cabinets, interior gates, and small wooden parts maker for other artisans. And much more.
From start to finish, working with Charles Cooke of Studio Northern Lights was a pleasure. He worked with me in selecting the best wood for the project. The quality of the completed conductor baton was excellent and it was shipped safely in a very timely manner. I am going to recommend him to other friends looking for finely crafted hand crafted gifts.
The blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.
Very happy with the finished knife. My brother will use on a daily basis
The final product was terrific!!! The quality and the workmanship was as good as I have seen. And the pizza cutter itself is heavy duty, works really well, and will last a life time.
