All of my work starts out from a design. I typically use a piece of software called knifeprint then mess around with a bit more other editors until I can get exactly what you are looking for.
These are all just starting points for your design, but can give you an idea of where we can start from and finish. I can also start from any of the other knives on the knives page.
Whether its a Bowie, Chef's, Utility, Camp, Fighter, or Fantasy blade. I want to work with you to design exactly what you want before we start the build.
There is a lot each of us can share, I have tried to pay things forward by creating articles and designs of what I am doing. Want early access and additional content? Want exclusive content?

Ring Guard Bowie - This blade was the runner up in the Blade and Edge competition across Canada and the US. it is an 8" 80CRV2 blade featuring a ring guard and copper accents on an elk antler handle. This is a great example of how a design morphs a bit during the build as I discuss with the client ideas that I see in the steel as I am build it. The guard became "softer" and fit the overall desi
