The knife is an order from a satisfied customer.

Thought I would start a blog here to showcase the work of my favorite knifemaker.   I stumbled across Alan Davis, a knifemaker from Boerne, Texas, in late 2012.  I was blown away by his knife designs.  Even more astounding was the fact that they were virtually all one of a kind creations.  Alan didn't just make one or two patterns and then just outfit them with different materials.  Each and every one was pretty much different.  While he did have a few designs that people seemed to like and…

This is a Tanto that was given to me by the widow of my best friend that died a few years ago.  He loved the Japanese swords, and unfortunately I know little of its history.  I did have an expert look at it, who determined it was made from a cut down (or broken) WWII Japanese sword.  The polishing is not correct, the shape of the blade tip is a bit off, but the parts are all authentic and someone put a lot of time into this piece.  The collar was noted as being very…

I assembled and disassembled it about 198769312 times. But it came out really interesting and a bit different from it's brothers.

The steel is 1.2379 (D2), 61 HRc, OAL - 165mm, blade only ~75х25х4mm. The handle is white corian, composite wood, acacia and stainless steel and brass spacers.

Another tiny one. This one went away before I had the chance to make some photos, so I use photos made from the new owner.

The steel is 1.2379 (D2), 61 HRc, the handle is wenge.

The name is untranslatable pun - in Bulgarian "wenge" is the wood and when you add "r" (wenger) it means "warlock".

I like a great looking knife , I really do .

Just as with most people a fancy set of handle scales or a little damascus really get's my attention . I have one or two knives that are very attractive and I wouldn't part with them for any reason , but I pick up and carry the same few knives all the time . With the greatest respect to the talented guys who have designed my users they do have one thing in common , they are Plain !

I never really thought of this until I started…

Another one of my favourite tiny knives! Can't stop making them!

After a long break - I sold my appartment and moved out, I started working again. 

This one is ordered as a gift - first knife for a newbie hunter. The customer - a friend of the hunter chose the shape of the blade and left me to choose the handle materials. At this time I was drawn by the Dark side of the Force, so I decided to put black corian and yellow and black composite wood and black fiber spacers. The steel is 1.2379 (D2), hardened up to 61 HRc. OAL - 230mm, blade -…

I might not catch many peoples attentions here with this, but I am looking for a few Remington Bullet Knives. The original bullets from the 20s-30s. I am currently stuck on 11 and looking for the remaining 3. R1613 with bullet shield, R1263 two blade drop point, R4466 the baby muskrat. These are the 3 I am looking for at this time. I'd still be interested in seeing any other original bullets if someone has a few for sale. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, guys!

About a year ago one of the best Bulgarian engravers - Evgeni Dimov proposed to make a gathering of the knifemakers in Bulgaria. The idea was to exchange some experience, to meet each other and to keep the tradition alive. Lots of people were interested and and said they will take part in it. 

The gathering took place in Sopot - a beautiful town in Central Bulgaria, in the Sopot…

I don't often narrow my comments to USA but this holiday is one that is very close to my heart

I am a brat!  I was raised being moved from country to country, state to state and base to base.  It was honestly a privilege.  I learned that no matter where you are in the world at 4PM every day, you stopped, placed your hand over your heart, listened to the National Anthem followed by Taps.  You learned early that God and Country were to be respected and those lost remembered.

I…

 

today i walked in an oudoor  shop ( very basic ) here in the countryside near where i live and took a look at the simple and small knife display

nothing special..... just the usual cheap stuff 

almost left the place when i saw this very nice buck 110  in exotic wood with gorgeous filework and mosaic pins !!......  i put on my most innocent face and asked the (ignorant) shopkeeper what it was

"oh   from an old stock ...from 20 years back or so... found it only a few weeks…

In this issue of Knives Illustrated, May/June I wrote an article entitled Five Knives For Law Enforcement. I review five knives which are excellent for law enforcement duty carry. KA-BAR Doghead, Gerber Covert Auto (New Stronger Spring), Steel Will Censor 330, Case Mid-Folding Hunter (Tractical..my words) and CRKT Tighe Rade. If you don't have a copy hurry as they are going fast.…

This one is a gift for the birthday of my best man. The blade is 120x25x3,8mm, the handle is pear tree. …

Some weeks ago two surgeon made a life saving operation of the mother of a colleague. So he came to me and asked me to make two knives as gift for these men.

The steel is RWL34, hardened up to 62 HRc, the handles are stabilized alder. 

The blades were thinned to about 0,2mm and than hand sanded to mirror finish. I must say I love this steel - it is really a pleasure to work with it! …
