This is the Fighter.  It is a really nice all around general purpose knife.  It has a sleek design and neat balance with just a bit of pommel weight. By far my favorite of our outdoor knives.  Made from 1095 steel with your choice of handle material.

This is the Norseman it has a thick hidden tang running through the handle and is made of 1095  steel. The tang comes out the end of the handle and has a hole for a lanyard.   The scandie grind makes it a great bush craft knife.

This is the Skinner.  A small Every Day Carry (EDC) knife with the traditional “Skinner ”  blade.  A fun useful outdoor knife.

This is the Pruner.  A small full tang  gardening knife and multipurpose EDC made of 1095 steel.

The Boatman is a sheep hoof blade design that hearkens back to the 18th cent sailors knives with blunted tip and a sure grip on the top and  bottom for the thumb and forefinger. Made of 1095 steel.

The Executive is a  bird and trout and paring blade.  1095 full tang construction with a long handle and short blade make it good for small food prep and outdoor use.

The Bird and Trout. Small game dressing knife  1095 steel full tang construction.

Amazon Handmade store.

Amazon has a new program for small handmade businesses. They have a fairly detailed application process and approve you if you meet all their criteria.  We only have the one knife up now but more will follow.   Stay tuned.

They are finally finished.  Some are going out to the local chefs to get feedback.   A few are gifts to friends or special requests.  Let us know if you like what you see.   We have also been accepted as a hand made artisan company on Amazon Handmade and will be setting up a store front there soon.

This knife is a tribute to the old classic butcher knife that settled the American frontier. It is a 1095 steel blade with a brass ebony and cocobolo handle. Notice the hamon line we achieved through  differential quenching.

Good news we have our kitchen knives ready to go out to the chefs.  Pictures will be taken on Sunday they will be going out to chefs on Monday.  Even better news we were interviewed for an article in the upcoming Edible Cape Cod Mid Winter Edition!!  Keep an eye out for that!  Bad news , the Orleans Winter Farmers Market said that knives violated the Nauset Schools weapons policy.  So we are not able to go to the Orleans Market as we had hoped.  I understand why the school has such a policy. Not sure why it applies to a farmers market of adults held on a Saturday when school is not in session.    I guess there are no exceptions.  A lot has changed since my father was a boy when every kid carried a pocket knife and they brought their shotguns to school with them so they could go hunting after school.

Today we added a new member to our team,  Rachel Powell Bayer photographer and web business developer. We had a small photo shoot today and this is the result.  Each week she will be photographing our new product and helping us with Instagram and Etsy and other  ways of communicating online.  She will help us take it up a notch and bring our online presence to the next level!

As many of you may know we are working on developing our kitchen knife line.  We have five super talented chefs from some of the best restaurants on the Cape who have agreed to run our knives through serious work and give us feedback to help us make the best knife we can make. The 52100 high carbon steel is in and we have started the process today.  We are looking to have these in the hands of Chefs by November!! Stay tuned for more updates as we have them!

For three years Tom has tried to make a knife that he could call his own. Every time he tries to claim a knife, we end up selling it. This is his current choice. (For now. Offer him enough money….)

It is made of 1095 high carbon steel, nickel silver, African blackwood and desert ironwood. He is so thrilled with its sharpness he may not have any hair left on his arms.

A custom 10 inch chef knife for our friend Chef Mike at King Richard’s Faire, this knife has a blade of 52100 high carbon steel with a hand crafted brass bolster and desert ironwood handle.
