Firecreekforge.Com Hand Forged Ulu Knife Herb Chopper Cheese Knife From Upcycled
Visit us at www.firecreekforge.com A unique and useful piece, this small Ulu knife or herb chopper is made from spring tooth harrow steel. After this quality high carbon steel spent many years in the field, we have given it a second bid on life. Hand forged on the anvil at our home shop here in Potlatch, Idaho, each piece is unique and follows the same basic design. Each Ulu is carefully heat treated to hold an edge and provide easy sharpening. The Ulu is easy to grasp in a pinch type grip, with the tang, or handle, fitting up into the palm for support and control. This is very ergonomic for many tasks, from chopping herbs, skinning, and shaping wood projects. The chopper comes in a 6" x 5" kraft brown gift box, making it a great presentation gift for special occasions.

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.

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 Handmade Bushcraft Knife Hunting Camping Fixed Blade5.0Over all I am very pleased with the knife, although I just received it and haven't had a chance to put it to the test I'm certain it will preform whenever and wherever I use it. I was pleasantly surprised that a knife of that size and robust blade thickness isn't half as heavy as it looks. The craftsmanship and quality materials put into this knife almost guarantees its longevity, thanks to Elijah Williams and Fire Creek Forge... Good Job Bill T. of Alaska...

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 Handmade Custom Skinning Knife5.0I haven’t had a chance to use my skinning knife yet but I have gave it a good inspection and this is a beautiful piece. Simple and elegant with excellent fit and finish. Sent pics to a few buddies in the know on this stuff and they all wanted to know who the maker was. Especially when they heard the price! Not a lot of communication but all accurate and timely. Can’t wait to put it to work!

For Mountain Bushcraft Frontier Knife Hunting Skinning Woods Craft Williams Built Blades5.0I ordered the Mountain Bushcraft hunting knife. After I placed the order it took several weeks for the build and then a couple of days for delivery. It was defiantly worth the wait. Everything about it was spot on. As the old saying goes, You can't rush perfection. If you have time to wait and want a Great quality knife that will last, I would highly recommend Elijah Williams to build you a knife. I will defiantly be placing another order in the future. Thanks Elijah for such a masterpiece. This is something that I know I will give my son one day and I know he will give it to his.

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.
