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 Hand Forged Skinning Knife O1 Tool Steel Hunting Fire Creek Forge Williams Built Blades5.0I 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.

For Wilderness Bowie 75.0Elijah is by far the nicest and easiest and professional person let alone artisans I've ever worked with. His attention to detail is amazing. He doesn't just make the product he's a part of it with his collaboration and experience. I wanted a Zombie killing knife that when plunged into their head came through with enough blade left to put an apple on.When I received my knife it was exactly that and more. I was so impressed I nearly soiled myself. The attention to detail was amazing, fare nicer than I anticipated. I can't believe the amount of work that went into this knife for the price I paid was incredible. I would highly recommend that you place your order right away and get in on the ground floor prices now. I see Elijah taking off and your going to be on a long waiting list. He listens to every thing you ask for and gets involved and advises you and makes suggestions to improve your project to add quality not found everywhere these days. I'm going to commission him to make me another knife that's how much I love his work.
