This matched set of hunters has been hand-forged from 1095 high carbon steel, and the one on the bottom still needs some drilling and grinding done, but then I'll be cutting in the gut hooks on each--which is what that hump of steel at the end is for--and they'll be ready for heat treat! They will end up with granadillo and antler scales.

A fun look at decalescence in a hunter I've forged and am normalizing. The color gets duller, then brighter as the crystalline structure of the steel changes.

I forged this camp knife from Texas Edition Chevy Silverado leaf spring, blackened it, and fitted it with black walnut scales cut from our own homestead. Soon, it will be making its way to Tormek to use in their sharpening tool demos.

This Thai-inspired variation on the billhook was hand-forged from a railroad track anchor clip, and mounted to a hickory shovel handle, with a simple 1/4in bolt to lock it in place. This piece is a donation, and purely utilitarian, but my wife and I put it to the test and it certainly gets the job done!

The Necromancer is hand-forged from railroad spikes, with a skull pommel, skeletonized handle, and wickedly curved, flesh flaying blade, just in time for Samhain and All Hallow's Eve rituals. Contact me to have a Necromancer join your party as you venture forth!
