The Blade



I create all my blades by hand - although very time consuming, the achieved results speaks for itself.

Each blade starts life as a plain bar of 01 High Carbon Tool Steel.  Once cut by hand, I carry out several heat treatment processes in order to create a blade which is strong, durable and has the ability to
hold a lasting razor sharp edge. 

The blade has a Scandinavian single bevel polished edge, achieved by the use of a traditional method of sharpening using 400, 800, 1200 and then 6000 grit Japanese Waterstones. The rest of the blade is given a high grit satin finish on which my logo is etched.

It is important to maintain your bushcraft knife in order to keep its high quality.  When you receive your knife, the blade will be coated in a silicone oil to protect it from any corrosion. We recommend you keep a thin coating of silicone oil on the blade.  When the knife needs sharpening, carefully, remove the oil from the blade with White Spirit and a soft cloth.  Our recommendations are the use of a 1200 grit Japanese Waterstone to bring the blade back to a razor sharp edge.
 An additional 6000 grit Waterstone can be used to polish the egde and the final honing is achieved by the use of a leather strop.

We will be supplying small knife care kits & full
 step by step instructions soon.
