About Me

I like to collect, modify and make knives. I prefer custom knives that are functional and beautiful.
I do custom rehandling on a limited basis as well as custom sheathes. I prefer a natural rustic look that is solidly constructed and compliments the knife it carries.
Contact me for a quote for a knife or sheath.
I made this sheath for a David Farmer knife. The customer wanted a "vine" pattern so I did a leaf beltloop and made some vine/leaf designs on it. It isn't really carved...I used a freehand groover to make the design and used a modeling spoon to add depth and texture.
I got this blade from Bryan Breeden of Breeden knives to put my own handle on. The handle is zebrawood with brass pins and black liners.
The sheath has a firesteel loop. To finish it off I gace the knife a paracord lanyard with a zebrawood bead to hold it secure. The wood has a lot of chatoyance and changes color when viewed from different angles.
I made the lined sheath first but it was too pretty for using while backpacking. I wanted something durable,water resistant and with multiple carry options.
The lined sheath is lined with doe skin. It has a leaf belt loop and the fit is excellent. I don't think you can beat the fit of a lined sheath.
The second sheath has a strap for horizontal carry in addition to a vertical carry loop with a square ring on top for attaching to a backpack. There is also a hole in the bottom for attaching paracord. The sheath has been waxed for weather resistance.
