Form follows function, clean lines, uncompromising style, solid performance on all my work.
The materials I work with are diverse—stabilized woods, ancient mammoth ivory, pearl, steels like CPM S35-VN, Damascus steel, and man-made materials like carbon fiber. These allow me to blend artistic design with high performance in a single, cohesive package.
I forge my own carbon Damascus from carefully selected steel combinations, including Kernmantle Damascus with a solid O1 tool steel core. I also use Damascus from makers like Chad Nichols, Devin Thomas, and Robert Eggerling.
Even my art knives are built without compromise. They undergo proper heat treating and solid construction, making them truly field-ready. I test each new working design to failure—because only then do I know it will stand up to real-world use.
