Great for a general utility knife, excellent for leather working, wood working, or use as a marking knife. The handle is Bird’s Eye Maple with two copper pins. The 52100 (high carbon steel) blade is stone washed and will provide partial rust resistance. Keep the blade dry and periodically apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust.

Handmade Nitro-V Stainless Steel EDC Knife
I built this fixed blade for reliable everyday carry and outdoor use. Made from corrosion resistant Nitro-V stainless steel for salt or fresh water protection, this knife combines performance with a clean custom look.
The handle is figured black/green canvas Micarta and paired with 416 stainless steel pins for added strength and dependability. The knife comes with a handmade leather sheath, also crafted by me, making this a complete custom carry setup.
Whether you're using it for hunting, hiking, camping, bushcraft, or everyday tasks, this knife is designed to be both functional and dependable.
The knife and sheath were made by me in my shop in Katy, Texas.

A one of a kind custom fixed blade, hand forged from canister Damascus, and built for real daily carry—lightweight and discreet.
I designed this knife to be a "Boot Knife", worn on the inside of a Western style boot, but it could also be worn on your hip on a belt. The custom leather sheath is tooled and dyed on the front to match the Damascus "snake" pattern on the blade and has deerskin liners inside the sheath to protect the blade.
The blade is crafted from tough 1084 steel and pure nickel powder for excellent edge retention and durability, then acid etched in Ferric Chloride and hand polished to 1500 Grit to reveal the Damascus pattern.
The handle combines Bird's Eye Maple with a single nickel silver pin, black and red G10 and nickel silver spacers, and a textured guard made from 52100 steel.
The knife and sheath were handmade by me in my shop in Katy, TX.
