Custom Maker Using "Wade" Marking

[tvranesic]

Can anyone identify a maker using the marking "Wade"? The marking was stamped and there are no other markings on the knife.

Google? Wade Hougham has the same mark: http://www.wadesknives.com/

Check and see.

Thanks Coop! I had used to Google to find his sight and went through about every page of his gallery, but I could find any pics showing his marking.

That's actually a different one than Coop's, but I guess I missed both of them somehow. I don't think that's it, as mine doesn't have the last name. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Here are a couple pics of the knife in question.

That is Wade Houghams mark. It was when he first started out and later changed it to the one I showed you.. KT

Coop and Kt,
You are both correct. As KT stated it is one of my early knives, I don't do shiny anymore and I use my last name now.
tvranesic, What type of info are you wanting to know?

Wade

Thanks for the info.

Wade-I was curious as to when it may have been made and what steel type you used? Although most of all, I'd love to know what kind of wood was used for the handle?

The age is roughly 5 to 6 years ago. Back then it could have been 52100, 1084 or 5160. The black on the handle is buffalo horn but I just don't remember what the wood was. I had computer failure a few years back and lost all of my pics and info on my older knives, sorry.
