Firecreekforge.Com Mountain Bushcraft Frontier Knife Hunting Elijah Williams Knives
Please visit my website at www.firecreekforge.com for the latest available knives. This is a hand made from scratch knife. The design is reminiscent of larger trade knives of the mountain man and trapper era of the 1830's. Influence from the legendary Kephart knife can be seen as well. All in all, the Williams Built 'Mountain Bushcraft Knife' is made to sit comfortably in your hand and allow you to take on a wide variety of tasks you'll face in the mountains and wilderness. The 4.5" blade has a flat grind and is made from 1/8" or 5/32" thick O1 tool steel. The steel is carefully heat treated in house to achieve excellent blade integrity. The Mountain Bushcraft measures right at 9" overall and 1.25" wide. The Mountain Bushcraft is pictured with a natural walnut wood handle which is finished and sealed with linseed oil. The handle is shaped and contoured so that it fits well in the hand and provides a secure grip. The blade is pictured with a light cold-blue finish. The knife is available without a sheath, or with a hand stitched traditional pouch style sheath.

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.
