Hand made knives

All of my knives are hand made from start to finish, each one is unique as I feel that each knife should feel personal to the user of it, as I like to explore themes and styles I am sorting my knives into collections based around a particular material, shape or use. 

Each blade is hand forged in a traditional coal fire and then heat treated for durability and efficiency at the task they need to do. Once the blade is forged I will look over the selection of woods and other materials and pick out what I feel goes with the shape and feel of the blade as well as what its intended use is. 
All handle products are ethically sourced.

Cimbrer Seax

After being a fan of Cimbrer bushcraft for many years I was delighted to see that Tom was looking for a knife maker for his seax design. After a discussion with him about what he wanted and going over the designs I made a couple of prototypes and got him to approve them before we offered them up for sale here.

The blades are forged from 80crv2 steel and feature a full tang construction, the oak handle is shaped by hand and then attached with brass pins. Each knife comes with a leather sheath made specifically for that knife and they are all hand cut and stitched.

Each one is hand forged and finished all by hand using British materials. The oak comes from the Kent and Surrey border whilst the leather for the sheaths comes from the Midlands, all steel is also rolled in the UK.

Sgian dubhs

A traditional Scottish knife which is very close to my heart, I have given a slightly more modern take to this classic design but it retains all of its functionality, through tangs with capped wood lies at the heart of the design with a strong stout blade and sleek file work its easy to see why this design has stood the test of time, 
I tend to mirror finish mine and use one of four exotic woods (African blackwood, Indian ebony, Indian rosewood, Chacate preto) but the heart and soul of the knife is still made with the same functionality in mind.

Each handle is turned on a lathe and then shaped to the knife using a rasp and sand paper to get a smooth ergonomic feel that sits comfortably in the hand,
​
I always keep my measurements the same with a 12cm blade and a 11cm handle, each knife also comes with a hand cut and stitched sheath.

Sgian Dubh

£130.00

The Sgian dubh is a very traditional Scottish knife, with my fathers side of the family being from the glorious land of the Scots this is a knife that is very close to my heart (and often kept in my sock). I have kept the design close to most of the traditional examples but have added a higher end flare to them using only exotic hardwoods and a mirror finish to the blades each piece is beautiful as well as functional.

Featuring a 100mm blade and a 110mm turned and then carved handle each one fits snuggly in the hand and feels comfortable to use when out camping or cutting food at a wedding. Supplied with a hand stitched leather sheath to protect the blade and for easy wear.

I always use one of three woods for these and with either horn or brass bolsters, if you would like another wood or style do please get in contact, I also do a bulk discount (minimum order of 5) if you wish to order them for groomsmen or any members of the wedding party.

Lead time is 8-12weeks

Chacate
Made with one of my favourite woods, chacate preto this Sgian dubh features a horn bolster and brass buttcap.

Ebony 
The dual tones of the ebony really set this piece apart, the deep line of the ebony is mirrored on both sides and complemented by the buffalo horn bolster and buttcap to really make the grain pop.
