Basic Introduction
Just some info on what got you interested in making knives
I am a pensioner and hobby knifemaker, and I have always wanted to try my hand at knifemaking
Favourite Steel
N690.
Favourite Handle Materials
“Natural hardwoods will always be one of my favorites, specifically African hardwoods.
I like using materials with character, anything that will make a knife one of a kind.
Combining synthetics with those found in nature often leads me to unique creations with a “modern meets rustic” look.”
Signature product
I try to do my version of the client’s ideas, as well as small slipbacks and any challenging and exciting designs.
Technical
I only get steel from reliable sources, like Eyrie Forge, Bohler, and KMTS.
The future
Hopefully, my hobby will support itself financially and add a bit to my pension.
