I am an ABS Apprentice Bladesmith, however I also use the stock removal method in making my knives. All my knives are flat ground. I primarily work with Damascus steels but I am capable of using any steel you wish for your custom knife, as well as any handle material. I personally heat-treat all Damascus and High-Carbon steels. My deep-hardening and Stainless steels are Heat-treated by my friend and mentor, Gene Martin.
I always try to keep a few knives available for immediate sale on my website , as well as take custom orders. I encourage my customers to provide their own knife design if they wish, and will work with them to produce exactly what fits their needs.
I also forge Damascus guitar picks and mini guitars that can be used as keychains, zipper pulls, etc...If you play a specific guitar I can duplicate any model.
