Firecreekforge.Com Tactical Survival Mission Knife
Please visit www.firecreekforge.com for the latest available knives. I took the Wilderness Survivor, and on request from a special unit reservist out of Sweden, made a few changes and added some features. The result is a robust, tough as nails knife that is as comfortable attached to a chest rig as it is on a bushcraft belt or in a survival pack. Choose from 3/16" O1 Tool Steel or 80CRV2 alloy steel; or 1/4" thick O1 Tool Steel. If you prefer a different steel, shoot me a message. I routinely work with a wide variety of steels on request. The blade is heat treated for the best combination of strength and edge holding ability. The blade has a flat grind, and is 4.75" long. The pommel has a generous lanyard hole and glass breaker / striker / scraper. The knife is shown with OD Green canvas micarta handle scales and custom liners, and an acid etch finish. The acid etch finish is an extra option that must be purchased if you want it on the knife. The spine of the knife is designed for use with a ferrocerium rod or batoning on the middle portion of the spine with the rest of the spine being rounded. A tek lock compatible sheath is included, with a dangler strap.

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.
