Why Just Own A Knife When You Can Own A Piece Of Art?

My name is Richard Von Hagen Palmer, functional artist and the maker of Von Hagen Knives. I love to make knives and almost every knife I make is for sale. Each original, one of a kind Von Hagen Knife is handmade by me. For me, part of the thrill of being a functional artist is sketching out my ideas on paper and then watching them come to life by my hands and in front of my eyes. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I hope you like what you see.

This BUSH STYLE KNIFE and is ground from of 5/32" thick 01 TOOL STEEL bar stock. The handle is Box Elder with natural reds, grays, blacks and depth. The Black Vulcanized Spacer adds a nice, custom touch.

Each Von Hagen knife blade has been Rockwell Hardness Tested and has been tempered and bench tested to assure the perfect hardness -- not too hard as to chip but not too soft, to be sure to hold an edge. The FULL TAPERED TANG knife is 9" long. The FLAT GRIND blade is well proportioned at 4 ½".

Because it is pinless, there is nothing to distract from the unique look of the handle. The handle is securely held in place with six (6) anchors, at 3/8" each, that have been milled and keywayed. This, along with the epoxy that bonds tight and causes a fusion, will assure that the handle will not come loose or break apart with normal, everyday use.

Thanks for looking,
Rick
