Available Knives
Well, life has changed again. On Tuesday July 18, 2006 I was "let go" from my flying job. I had two years, five months of flying with some great pilots, in wonderful equipment. I ended up with about 1325 hours in the C208. I believe that things do happen for a reason though. So as of 7/19/06, I am back to being a "full time" knifemaker.
I'm really glad to be back to knifemaking, full time. In fact, I don't think I've been this excited about any "job" in over ten years. I will spend the next few weeks going through my waiting list. Once I see how much of it still exists, I will plan out the knife production for the next six months. Any changes in order status can be seen here: knife ordering
Knives I have for sale, to the general public, will be posted here. Since I have such a large waiting list, I will offer speculation knives to those on my current waiting list first. Since some of those on the list have been waiting for over thirteen years, I feel that I owe them first chance at anything I make on a speculation basis. Then, after a couple days, I will offer them here.

It's kind of funny, The last time I had a knife up here was exactly a year ago. The folder below was put up for sale on New Years Day 2006. Hopefully, since I'm back to full time knife making, I will have more in the near future.
Large Utility Knife (Or Light Camp, or Heavy Kitchen Knife)
I've had the blade for this for some time. I finished it up when a customer didn't send the money for his order. I had to get something done, and pay the bills. It doesn't have a sheath yet, although one will be included. I'll make one to the buyers desires. The specifics are below.

Thank you for looking.
Meteorite Damascus Folder: This is a case where the customer said he would take two or three. I made three. He took two.
This knife has a 2 3/4" blade of meteorite and O1. The meteorite is Gibbeon from Africa. Twist pattern.
The handle is brass, copper and nickel silver mokume. The handle is etched to a fairly deep relief for "gription". The color doesn't show well here. But, I think it is some of the nicest mokume I have ever made.
The knife disassembles for cleaning and maintenance. I made the screws from PH 13-8 stainless. A wrench is included.
