There is no other knife that took so much luxury than this one. made out of 320 layers damascener steel mammoth ivory handle scales, and silver bolsters. Made in special order
for I client.

Here she is opend and locked, it felt realy smooth opening and closing it.

So it looks on my hand, just to give you a idea about size,

BushCraft Knives

These ones are with sheath, you see them more naked if scrolling down
These here are a set that comes with a piggy-back sheath. Both are made out of 75Cr1 and just the biggest is differential hardend. Handle scales on the biggest is bocote and the small one has zirikote. pins and lanyard-hole are brass.




Here you see a couple of BuschCrafters just after hardening and temepring, they made out of 75Cr1 and so its possible to use differential hardening witch brings this nice hamon in de blade.

Handle scales on both is ebony with brass layard-hole and pins








Here some more resent knives I made. there's the small BC One BushCrafter made out of O1 steel ( 1.2510 ) with mozaiekpins selfmade and ebony handle scales. Two other pictures is the backlock folder I made in 2008, its handle is thuja with Brass bolsters and pins. Made it for a good friend of my. All the knives I make come with a great leather sheath of witch I will tell some more wenn find the time.




Here is a katana I made in 2008, took a lot of time to get it just as I wanted it. I named it flower, because its light and swift. De cordwrap done myself after looking on the web how its done. There's no rayscin but deerscin onder the handle wrap. Butcap is brass with a piece of amber. And its very very scharp. Also this is one is still not saled. So if you are intrested just let me know.



Here a couple of pics from special stuff and in
progress. Above you see the simple hardening
of a small BushCrafter. Here on the right are a
set of BushCraft knives that just were cut out.
Down below a backlock folder in Progress. and
to the right top a very big knife made for a big
fan from the down-under Dundee knife.




How it started

This is me just think the beard of and a bit longer hair. It started in spring 2001, I was in a dumpshop looking for knives wenn I realized that it could be possible to make a knives myself. So I did. This knife is still in my possession.



Its the fifth from the top, handle from beech and some amber inlay and a butcap to. The last black knife is made out of a file with stainless bolsters and ebony handle scales. The first second and fourth knife from the top are made from bought blades. so there is just the handle my work.



HandMadeKnives Tiel

Here is one of the first big knives I made, In the beginning of my time as a knife maker I made the knives out of files. I did this without softening the steel first, so it was a lot of grinding those days.

So this knife is made out of Mangan steel and it has Mammoth ivory scales with newsilver pins.
Also the back of the handle and a bit of the back of the knife has some filework.
This knife now is in Canada and the owner is using it for hunting and other bigger work.
