Firecreekforge.Com Handmade Custom Skinning Knife Bocote Wood Handle
Visit my website for my latest available hand forged knives: www.firecreekforge.com You are looking at a fully custom hand crafted knife made from scratch. From grinding the blade out of a blank piece of steel, to heat treating the blade for edge holding and toughness, to attaching and finishing the handle; I complete every step start to finish for the end result you see in the photos. The blade is 4" long and made of O1 tool steel. It has a flat ground blade that provides excellent cutting clearance while maintaining blade strength. The handle scales are exotic Bocote wood secured with brass pins and epoxy. The leather sheath is hand stitched. This knife will be treasured by any avid hunter or outdoorsman, or anyone who wants a good blade.

All knives unless other wise expressly stated are made to order, one of a kind pieces. They will closely resemble what is pictured.
Fire Creek Forge (home of Elijah Williams Knives) provides quality, one of a kind custom made knives and metal items, hand made from scratch.
I have been making knives for about 20 years. I first got into it after reading a book on knife making at my library, and I taught myself from there, gleaning information from other books, and the web.
Building knives was a good match for another early interest of mine, the outdoors, woods, and back country. I love the idea of being able to walk into a trackless wilderness with only a good knife, and have the skills to live comfortably. I haven't quite reached that level, but I continue to study and practice these skills today, and it serves well to inform my blade design and construction.
I also began forging some years back, and I enjoy making useful and decorative items with the simple and old methods of working iron and steel.

Dec 23, 2016Elijah did an excellent job! He was very prompt in responding. I had a special request to inlay a piece of jade in the knife handle and he did a beautiful job! I am very happy with the knife! His price was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him.

Dec 29, 2020There were some delays (some unavoidable) but the craftsman kept in constant contact with me when I emailed him, and would usually return emails within three hours or less. In my communications with him I found him to be honest, straightforward, and easy to understand. When I received the knife and sheath they were both in good order and ready to go to work, but there were some things I wanted changed. I contacted the craftsman, explained what I wanted done, shipped them both back to him, and he made the changes I requested and shipped them back. I now have the knife I wanted, and I got it the way I wanted it. I will order from this craftsman again,

Mar 5, 2018I have been a fan of the "Sharp Finger" style of hunting knife for many years. This style is small, compact to carry, perfect for any camp duty that may arise. But skinning is where it excells! Williams' hand made version is true to form with a quality build on classic materials. Love the antler scales. Perfect blade. I'm a fan.
