Fantastic knives come from great craftsmanship and skill, that's a fact. However It seems that many high end blade smiths have well equipped shops i.e power hammers, presses, top of the line belt grinders, surface grinders, salt pots, several forges, huge anvils, endless jigs and tools. Even with a well equipped shop it takes skill to make a great knife.

I am curious, I would like to see some great knives & sheaths from a shop with minimum power tools, mainly relying on hand tools, Hand hammer, files, sand paper etc.

What do you have, forged or stock removal love to see them!
