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.

    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.

    This knife is a true piece of art and masterfully crafted. I am extremely happy with the finished product and would order another piece from the maker any day of the week.
