I forge my blades out of high carbon steels such as 1050/84/95, W1, 5155/60, 52100, L6 and my own Damascus steels, as well as some 1095 and L6 blades on occasion, depending on the knife's purpose or your preference. My damascus steel is also forged from the same steels listed above. This means my damascus is a "working" steel, not just a "cool to look at", decorative material.

"Shinrin Tanto"
Most of my blades are V flat ground, though some of my larger camp knives and such are also convex grinds... again, purpose and preference. From designing and heat treating to making my own damascus, I do it right here in the forest.

As to the "in shop" heat treating of my blades, I prefer to edge or clay quench carbon steels whereas most damascus blades are fully quenched, unless an edge quench is requested. Some knives are, of course, fully quenched. All blades are put through multiple thermal, hardening and tempering cycles. Since all of my carbon steel blades are heat treated here, I can guarantee each knife has an extremely tough and durable edge (58-59 Rc).

"The Black Mamba"
When completed, there are a variety of final finishes available for your completed blade. I  put most blade a fine hand-rubbed #600 - #2000 grit finish on my carbon steel blades. I can also acid etch some steels/blades to bring out the hamon or quench line as well as a nice etch and polish on damascus blades. I have also started to offer my "antiqued" blued finish which has become a very popular concept from "aged/period" look to our modern Military and Police personnel for it's non-reflective abilities, low maintanence and resistance to the elements for high carbon blades.

Upon finishing, all blades are sharpened and polished to a fine "toothy" edge so your edge will "bite" and then slice through whatever your working with or through. This gives you a very tough, durable and attractive working knife whether it goes into the field or into your collection.

"The Black Mamba"
Handle material and hardware are, for the most part, a matter of personal preference and come in an almost endless variety. For handles, I prefer to use a lot of natural materials including Sambar stag, bone and horn, plus a variety of burls and exotic woods from Thailand like Ironwood, Praduk, Redwood, Rosewood, and other burls Blackwood, etc. All are kiln dried for stability and sealed for durability before being buffed to a high finish. Synthetic materials also play a part in my handles. These include some reconstituted colored spacers, as well as Micarta and G-10. These can be used as accents or as an entire piece. There are also more than a few choices for your knife's hardware (guards, pommels, pins, etc.) including brass, copper,Damascus steel, etched, lightly blued or "antiqued" carbon steel as well as stainless steel.
