Thanksgiving is a uniquely American tradition.

It was not called Thanksgiving at the time, but what we recognize as the first Thanksgiving feast was celebrated in 1621 by the pilgrims of Plymouth colony along with about 90 Wampanoag Indians.

The Pilgrims had suffered through a devastating winter in which nearly half their number died. Without the help of the Indians, which the Pilgrims were thankful for,  all would have perished.

Next weekend the wife and I are going hunting. The first stop is going to be the A.G. Russell store in Rogers Ark. From there we are heading to Branson Missouri. Then to Lebanon Missouri. We will also stop at any antique stores along the way. 

A whole weekend of knife hunting. I'm ready to go.

Have you ever wondered how traditional knife patterns got their names? Well I have. Names like Congress, Trapper, Stockman, Moose, Cigar and heres a good one... Muskrat. Well who and when did these knifes get their names. Everyone may know the answer and I'm just in the dark on this, if not lets hear the reasons.

   Thank you to all our Vets young and old 

   for you done for the American people and peoples of the world

     Happy Veterans Day

Veteran's Day…

A while back I made a knife with damascus and Camel bone scales. It ended up pretty nice but I'd made some misstakes that made that I figured it wasn't good enough to be sold anytime soon.

(this one)

So I carried it as a personal EDC for a while. And I quite enjoyed it. So one day I showed it to a friend of mine (a very good…

 Hello everyone!! Were about to embark on a epic adventure here at HHH Knives. And I want to bring you guys along with us.. 



Were going to be forging some Meteorite damascus! Yep that is the "out of this world" reference. I just received a 4 lb. piece of Meteorite and with a little luck at the end of the process we will have a couple of extra amazing and beautiful billets of SPACE STEEL!

From the time I was a young boy I loved looking and watching my dad buying and collecting knives.When he gave me my first knife I was in love . I starting going to places to buy knives. Some days I would go to the hardware store and just gaze thru the glass case thinking of witch one I wanted to get next. Then when I started working I would pull my knife out to cut something and people would ask me were I got that.and I would tell them. It always gave us something to talk about.

Then…
