Zombie Squad

Thank you, Ellywick!

Been busy banging out bodadacious blades. Here are some recents. 80CrV2 steel, cord wraps, and Boltaron sheaths all around. A biohazard outbreak reaction bush sword and smaller utility knife that went to a repeat customer in Canada. The bush sword has scorched hemp for the main wrap and black paraco...

Ok, re: the Green Beret's wakizashi: I'm discussing with him options for setting up on his plate carrier right now, so he's definitely looking at carrying it on deployment.

Dabster - I'm not sure if the Green Beret is planning on carrying it on deployment, but I get the impression he is. He ordered it up when he was on deployment, but had me ship it to his US address when I was finished because he was only about a month out from being back home. He was quite happy with...

Thank y'all! Yossarian - They're all off to customers. About to start my next batch when I make it out to the shop today. 91Eunzos - I could probably do a couple of scale-less mid-tech blades for you, but you'd need to find someone to build the scales for you. As I understand it, working mammoth too...

It's been a very busy last several months, and while I have produced a good number of blades, I haven't been as active online to post them. So here's most of them from recent months. :D Everything is 80CrV2 steel, with various combinations of paracord and hemp wrapped handles, and Boltaron sheaths e...

Thank y'all!

A couple of new big blades that got shipped out earlier this month. Two firsts on these: the cord-wrapped one is the heaviest I've made, and the slab handle on the lamb splitter is the longest slab I've ever made. Both of them are forged from 80CrV2 steel with Boltaron sheaths. The wrapped one has a...

I might experiment at some point down the road to see how a G10 version would hold up, but they are designed with the idea of wearing them on a plate carrier or similar LBE as a backup. The handle on it gives a lot of stability, with the tradeoff of it being wider and a little less concealable. But ...

On the mid-tech side of things, I came up with a self-defense tool that debuted at Blade Show this summer: the ST-1. They're waterjet cut from 1/4" 4140, ground and heat treated, with a Cerakote ceramic gun coating, with Boltaron sheaths. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4821/46187262272_c0c650c4d6_c....

Thank y'all!

Thank you!

I'm sure some of y'all have seen the new open cutting competition show on the History Channel, "Knife or Death". While I haven't gotten to compete on it (Several "Forged in Fire" competitors, including Rashelle Hams from my episode, have been on. She did quite well.), I did get to be involved in an ...

Finally got a chance to sit down after doing Blade Show West. Tests on the knife in the article included a wrap durability and retention test of soaking it and the user's hand in a mixture of water, ice, and dish soap. The retention was solid, and the wrap unharmed. The tip was tested with stabbing ...

A better look at the forged blades. All wrapped handles. The cleavers are 5160, the rest are 80CrV2. The hemp wraps were torched prior to being impregnated with epoxy. Sheaths are Boltaron. Especially with the cleavers, I've been working on getting closer to the final shape with my power hammer, Gun...

It has been a very busy summer and I haven't kept things updated as I should. Had an awesome Blade Show this year (first weekend in June! I am way behind!), and two full tables of inventory. This year had the distinction of the *first* show I've ever had a table where I wasn't having to sharpen blad...

I'm not an archer, but looks good to my untrained eyes.

What details would you like, Moab? Thanks!

Niiiiiiiiiice!

91Eunozs - I've got an 8" Benghazi Warfighter forged out sitting around the shop. I'll DM you. :) I sell both to individuals and dealers. My business model is changing somewhat. Instagram and Facebook have allowed me to post up a blade that I've forged which is not slated for anyone and it will get ...

Thanks! I'll gladly autograph a copy if you want to send it to me.

If you pick up a copy of the November 2018 "Knives Illustrated" magazine, you'll see a well-written article about one of my knives by Waysun Johnny Tsai. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1842/44622077381_cbe840ed56_c.jpg article02 by James Helm , on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1857/446220775...

I got a knife from Storm Crow. It's been to places on the planet you couldn't imagine. Met the Russian Spetsnaz on the Ukrainian Contact line. Met the Tauregs in the Sahara.......I showed it to my grandson and told him "this is yours, and when you show me your ready, you can take this ". That's so ...

Moab - I'll shoot you a PM.
