12.5" of 5160 spring steel, clipped point, slight recurve, Micarta scales with copper pins and sharp AF. Custom wooden case with a laser etched birdseye maple top. is also available. Note: This is not stainless steel and must be cared for accordingly. I polish blades to mirror finish, some imperfections will remain, my hammer gets a bit heavy sometimes. ;-) But none of them affect the strength or performance of the blades. Thanks for looking and all questions are welcome! Karl
The Mill
Hi.
I'm Karl. I make things. Big things. Small things. Things out of wood. Things out of metal. Things out of wood and metal. Things out of molten copper. Things that appear in video and commercials. Things that my children will give to their children. And their children will sell at a garage sale 'cause that's what ungrateful great grandchildren do.
I have a workshop in historic Taylors Mill, South Carolina. That's where the name comes from. The Mill. My wife calls it Milly, my mistress. It's a fair criticism. I spend a lot of time there. Making things. And I've been doing it for over 35 years. Furniture. Cabinets. Reproductions. Restorations. Industrial. Mid Century Modern. Craftsman. Shaker. Traditional. I've lost track.
But one thing I know, styles change. Exceptional craftsmanship does not.
I love a challenge. I love hand made. I Love to design and go through the process of creating. But fair warning, I won't make anything you could expect to find at Pottery Barn or Renovation Hardware.
Not even for Milly. If she were real.
So send me a picture, a sketch, a thought, a gleam, a "kinda, sorta maybe it looks like this" and we can start.
I'm Karl. I make things. People love them. And you will too.
The shelves are beautiful. Really nice craftsmanship. Karl was great to work with — great communication and very considerate about timing and installation. I'd definitely work with him again.
I had a very specific request and he worked with me to get it exactly the way I wanted. This was no easy task because it had Hebrew and English parts on the custom frame I wanted. I can’t wait to give it to my husband for his first Father’s Day.
Incredibly easy to work with. Finished project ahead of schedule and looks amazing. If you’re reading this, you should hire him.
Talented designer/woodworker! Table is beautiful and Karl used reclaimed wood from his shop. Looks beautiful in our new home and we would definitely use this designer for additional projects.
WOW is all I can say. Karl is a great man with a true girt of craftsmanship. Not only that, but he's overall just a great person with a great mindset and I can't wait to recommend him to my colleagues. THANK YOU KARL!
