Knives Archives
Sadly
I have neglected to photograph most
of the knives that I have made in recent years- this will be remedied
as time progresses! Please enjoy these photographs of my previous
work.

Langsaex in the style of the 5th-6thC. The 5160 spring steel
blade is differential-tempered to HRc58-60 at the cutting edge and
drawn back to HRc45-48 through the spine and tang. The furniture
is of mild steel and the grip is hardwood. The tang is passed through
the pommel and butt-riveted to secure the hilt. The guard is
attatched to the blade with loww-temp silver solder. Inspired by
museum pieces currently in collections in Europe, this is not a copy of
a specific museum piece but rather is styled to be consistent with
pieces from this period.
EvoCFK Prototype




EvoCFK stands for Evolution
Compact Fighting Knife. A
fixed blade fighter based on the TFDS folding fighting knife, this
knife features a 4-3/4 inch long .210 inch thick 5160 spring steel

The chisel grinds of the blade are true zero-ground chisel grinds-
there is no secondary edge bevel. Overall length is 9-5/8
inches.

'zero ground' or 'rolled' edge. The temper line is clearly
visible in the photograph above.

This is a selcction including 4 board knives and 2 thwittles.

Camp Knife

Hand-Sax
inspired by saxes of the 5th-9thC. AD


The CSD is the kukri like knife on the
left-top and on the right.

This is the Oasis Fighter- inspired in part by
middle-eastern daggers but mostly
by a pair of daggers carried by the Oasis character in the Sluggy
Freelance web comic!
