nice

I have 8 or 9 custom knives, Gene Ingram, Charles May, O'Connell and various others. I have found that a good custom knife is several times as useful as any production blade and I have tried lots of those, as well.

You have some very sound designs, nice knives and that little caper in the center of it's photo is just excellent. What steel(s) are you using, who does your heat treating and what is your price range?

Most of the better kife makers I have seen here in BC, Steve Price, O'Connell and Harald Moeller are now out of it, but, another fine artist, Del Corsi is still at it, I think. I like to support the new makers and Canuck artists as I am just a "little" nationalistic......

Good on ya, keep it up!

I use mostly 440c steel
most of the hardening/heat treating is done by me
polishing is done by me as well

Price is dependant on the knife
