I am a woodworker not a metal smith 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 Macassar Ebony wood (black with faint brown swirls). 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 600 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. This fixed blade is made commercially by Wood River Knives from 5/32" thick 6A high carbon stainless steel. This high-quality knife is 6" overall length and 2 1/4". A knife you will be proud to show and use for a lifetime, or give as an impressive gift. Google Wood River Knives for technical information about their blades. Handmade knife sheath is included in purchase price. Sheath will slip onto a belt up to 1 3/4" wide. Customer may purchase knife with out sheath, subtract $20.00 and specify preference in proposal process. For shipping in the USA; I use first class mail with delivery tracking. Special arrangements can be made with me for Priority mail, Express mail, mail insurance, or signature confirmation.
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.
