Folding Knives include different styles of lockbacks and traditional pattern slipjoint Pocketknives such as trappers and stockman. I attempt make sure every folding knife has a very smooth crisp action. Although knives are tools, they are also a carefully handcrafted work of art. My knife workshop is located in Roseville, California. I began making hunting knives in 1978 when living in Bend, OR, and started making folders in 1994. I have sold knives at shows in New York, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, California and Oregon. Through this website I not only have sold here in the USA, but also internationally to customers in Canada, South America, Australia and throughout Europe. I HAVE CUSTOM KNIVES FOR SALE There are several pages of thumbnail images; FIXED BLADE and FOLDERS. I have also separated the folders into a page of just Lockbacks and another for Slipjoints. Every knife you see on the thumbnail pages are available and for sale unless marked "SOLD". Click on any thumbnail image to enlarge and see detailed information about that knife. Most of the custom knives I make now have S30V steel blades flat-ground by hand. On request I use ATS-34, 440C and BG-42 steels. Click on the STEEL INFO button for specifics about the steels. I have run some personal tests on the steels I use and posted the comparisons on the STEEL INFO page. S30V is the first steel on the market specifically made for knife making. The alloys have been chemically blended to bring out the highest qualities in edge holding and toughness. It also has some stain resistance. A great combination for any knife blade! Some of the handle materials used that really make custom knives stand out include exotic hardwoods, highly figured stabilized woods, stag, bone, ivory and mother-of-pearl. There are different types of ivory too, including wild boar tusk, fossilized walrus tusk and colorful wooly mammoth ivory. Some of the fossil walrus ivories are unique artifacts that Eskimos produced centuries ago from walrus tusks. For information on different ivories and the laws that cover them click here for IVORY INFO. If you see a knife that you like, I can customize it with a different steel, handle material or some other change. Send me an email about it and I'll send you a quote on price and delivery date.
