Check out my latest knives at www.firecreekforge.com Constructed from scratch by hand, this knife is versatile and purpose built for detailed cutting. The 3.5" blade has a continuous swoop, or curve, to the cutting edge that provides efficient, consistent cutting with everything from woodcarving to vegetable prep. Available in stainless or high carbon steel, in either 1/8" thick or 3/32" thick blade steel, both with a full flat grind. Blade is quality O1 tool steel. Knife comes with a hand stitched leather sheath. The handle is secured with stainless hidden bolts and epoxy for a lifetime of durability. Pictured in Olive Drab canvas micarta.

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 Handmade Custom Skinning Knife Bocote Wood HandleWhile 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.

For Firecreekforge.Com Tactical Survival Mission KnifeThere 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,
