Here we have five recent custom orders for BladeForums members. Each is unique and interesting in its own way, and they were all great fun to build. All knives (and the Growl's matching firesteel) handground, assembled and finished by yours truly; all sheaths handmade and finished by my wife Angie and I - except for the awesome Kydex sheath that fellow BF member/craftsman Kiah made for the Growl and firesteel at the customer's request.
All heat-treating done by Peters' HT.
The Growl is a signature THK model, available with several options, including the full-convex grind and tapered tang seen here. Sheath by Kiahdex Systems, photo by client. SOLD
Another THK standard, this SideKick has custom/optional tapered tang and exotic Redwood burl scales, with a hand-rubbed oil finish. Photo by client. SOLD
The Strix began as a pure custom project, but I'm so pleased with it that it has joined the stable of THK signature models. A light and slim EDC with a full-flat grind and tapered tang, it's well-suited for slicing, whittling, and field-dressing chores. This sheath is meant to be carried in a pocket or bag, and sports a leather-covered rare-earth magnet to aid retention and a thumb-tab on the spine side to help push the sheath away and allow one to lash it to... well, whatever. SOLD
This little necker/EDC is a true custom order. Like the Strix, this neck sheath has a magnet inside it for extra peace of mind. SOLD
This chef's knife was built to the client's specifications for slicing meats and vegetables. I ground the CPM-154 blade very thin for the best possible cutting performance. The sheath is a simple cover to protect the blade from scratches and dulling when not in use, especially if it's placed in a drawer with other utensils.
SOLD
Thanks for looking, and thank you for your support!!
