Hey guys! I finally re-upped here and it is back on! Bladeforums has always been the place to have a real discussion on knives and I really miss that... let's go!

Some recent work...

Nice Kwaiken! Is that a double ground, or a chisel?

Thanks! Double grind... slightly hollow main bevel to convexed tip. I make most of these with a pronounced convex tip/compound grind but this one was blended to convex.

Holy cow, man! Good to see you! That kwaiken is really, really sweet, D.

Hope you are all G.t.G and have a clean bill of health. What are your plans? Give us something to dream about, man.

Hi Tony! Good to hear from you! Getting better here with the eyes so that is good!


How about...

Bringing back my original KCT?
A new KCT!
A big Kwaiken in 3/16" Ti with carbide edge and lots of curve to the spine?
Improved Backpackers in steel or Ti!
A new Motivator with a bigger pointier blade in steel or Ti?
More Compact EDC's in Ti and 3V!
A run of tall Petty Chef's knives in Nitro-V!
A new large Backpacker in 3V?
A Pikal Backpacker! A backpacker with a big pointy drop point/spear point blade? Steel or Ti?



Yes this is all really happening!


Loads of knives coming up! I have 8 new or revised designs in the works officially as of yesterday with materials ordered...that includes a new Backpacker with a slightly taller, easier to sharpen and more useful blade and a whole lot more. Most of the designs will be available in Ti with Carbide or Steel!

I'm using Nitro-V and CPM3V steel for most of my new knives.

I have more black Kwaikens with Shark underlay in the works. They are 1095 steel which has been triple normalized before clay coating and quenching in Parks 50. High performance! I have been just nailing the heat treat on these...

Wrench KCT's are in the works!

More folders are in the works! Every one is a one off, I'm using .200" CPM3V for the blades. RF1V2's are getting started finally also.

Been watching your forum since last summer and am sure glad you are back Daniel. Your design are simple but they work and keep working. Was concerned that you were going to go to Instagram/Facebook to show and sell your creations.
