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.

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.

For Firecreekforge.Com Tactical Survival Mission Knife4.7There 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,

For Wilderness Bowie 75.0The matching set was perfect. My daughter loved hers and we opened all of the rest of the presents with our new tools.
