"If you can imagine it, I can make it"

I use mostly marine grade steel since most of my knives are for display
I use a wide variety of styles and materials for the embellishment and sheaths, including: wood, bone and horn
I also use my skills as a jeweller to decorate the handles and sheaths of my knives

I now have access to tempered spring steel so can make battle ready weapons. Im still searching for a source of 420 stainless steel.
