My latest hand forged knives are at www.firecreekforge.com This is the Wilderness Classic. Based on the well known and loved Kephart design, the Wilderness Classic sports a beautiful "heat treat" finish on the blade. The 1095 high carbon steel blade is flat ground and has a 4.5" cutting edge. The knife is heat treated for edge holding ability and toughness. Blade thickness is 1/8". The 'Classic' has the efficient and comfortable handle the Kephart design is known for: rounded with no protrusions for a multi-versatile grip and nothing to create a hot spot on the hand during use. The handle scales are secured Loveless bolts and epoxy. The handle material is available in two thicknesses: approximately 1/4" thick per side, or approximately 3/8" thick per side. The 1/4" thick handle scales are comfortably rounded and provide a slimmer handle thickness with a somewhat rectangle cross section, as preferred by some. The 3/8" thick handle scales offer a fuller and more oval handle cross section, for those who like that better. The Wilderness classic is a 100% hand made from scratch knife, made to be used by the outdoor enthusiast, hunter, craftsman, camper, or anyone who needs a practical, quality cutting tool.

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.

    There 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,

    While the project was a bit delayed, the final knife, a gift to my son, exceeded expectations. Beautiful workmanship and something he will always treasure. Have ordered a knife for myself. Recommend highly.
