52100 forged from 1 1/2" ball bearing,and elk Made for Sammy L. Davis. Also knife featured in Blades knifemaker showcase
Most of the knives I make are 3" to 5" hunters with an occasional 8" blade. Choppers, fighters, and large camp knives will show up now and again, but because of local demand my primary knives are small. Prices range from $150.00 to $800.00 and up, per special request of rare or exotic materials. I keep some handle materials in stock but would use a piece provided by the customer or a piece found at one of the following sites http://www.alphaknifesupply.com/ or http://www.burlsource.us/servlet/StoreFront and Ebay

I really love working with natural handle material because of the feel they have as well as their natural beauty, local and exotic hardwoods and burls as well as Elk and whitetail antler. Micarta and other synthetic materials are sometimes used on severe duty knives. Knife finishes can be mirror polished,hand sanded to a satin finish,blued or a scotch-brite satin finsh. I often acid etch my blades to reveal a "hamon" or hardening line.
