The knives pictured here are all my own work. I make the blades, fittings, and scabbards myself. Occasionally I will use fittings and such made by someone else, and these pieces will be labelled accordingly. But the blades, Ah,,,,the blades. The blades are mine.

Bocote and solid Brass Scottish style dirk. Made for my father. Ballock style grip, full length tang, and velvet lined scabbard. Thanks for the pics, dad.

Norse style Sword-Hilted dagger. Walnut with solid Nickel fittings on hilt and scabbard. Full length tang, with solid Nickel "Long Ship" pommel.

Purpleheart with copper collar, pins, and thong hole. About 10" overall. Partial length tang.

The first knife I ever made. Full length tang, Walnut and Cherry handle, with Bronze pommel and guard. Black leather scabbard is mounted with a piece of Chinese Tourquoise. Took forever to finish. About 12" long overall. A gift for my brother. Man, I give him some cool stuff......

Teak sculpted handle, Hematite skull-crusher pommel, Sterling Silver bezel. Black Suede grip. About 20" overall. The first knife I ever sold. Full length tang.

While I have been trained by the American Bladesmith's Society to forge using traditional methods, these were all made before that training. They are all ground from steel cutting files, are quite hard, and take an excellent sharp edge.
