The last chef's knife I finished up before I headed back to College. She's got a random pattern 1084/15N20 Damascus blade, an integral bolster, the most beautiful rosewood handle, and a Bronze spacer. She's sharp, light, and elegant.

A Viking Seax I made for a YouTube video. The blade is two bars of twisted 1084 and 15N20 with the starting bar having a gradient. The guard is made from silicon bronze, the handle is made from African Blackwood, and the pommel is mild steel. It came out looking incredible, and I am proud to have created this piece.

This is the sister blade to my Magnum Opus. She has a razor thin edge, a Japanese cowboy faceted handle inspired by Mareko Maumasi, and one of the sickest Damascus patterns I have ever seen/made.

I made this knife during a two day build challenge with Andrew Kim. It was 110 degrees outside so inside my garage with the forge on it was easily 130 degrees. The blade has a bold twist Damascus pattern, an African Black-wood handle, and a gray G10 spacer. Easily one of my favorite chef's knives.

This is a small camp knife that has one of my favorite blade shapes ever. It has san-mai made from CruforgeV and 1018, curly maple handle scales, and 5/16 brass pins. It is super robust, and has a finish of tru-oil and axe-wax.
