Wow guys thanks!!! Wow!
Where to start, still taken aback a lil. For those that don't know me maybe a lil intorduction is in order.
I'm Dave and my wife is Nichole. Together we are Horsewright. I make the knives and sheaths. She makes the bags and purses etc. We both make holsters, belts and many other items. Much of our work is pointed at the cowboy, rancher, western, world cause thats who we are too. We recently retired from being cattle ranchers ourselves, so have quite a bit of street cred in that world. We do still have four horses that we try to work with several times a week. Here's a lil tidibit though that not everyone knows, I'm introduced in a friend's memoir as "the only cowboy you will ever meet that played rugby at a high school in Scotland." Thats true I did live in Scotland for 3.5 years but my friend Jack Black has said he's met another rugby playing cowboy so there's that.
We have three kids Josh and Logan are both 32. Josh is an IT guy. Logan is a working cowboy and Alyssa (27), (Smoke, Rudy, Sally, Ally or any of her other nicknames), is a nursing student. All have helped at one time or another in the Horsewright business.
Been making knives for sale for twenty plus years and have made and sold tens of thousands of knives and sheaths. All of my knives come with a sheath that has been made and fitted to that specific knife, not just to that knife model. We do make a lot of our sheaths for other folks knives not just our own knife models. Been doing professional leather work even longer. Was figuring in my head of that being north of forty years. Lately, we've cut down on some of the leatherwork options we do for the cowboy side. So we don't really make chaps, leggings, reins and some other items like that much anymore. So thats pretty much it as an introduction I guess. I always welcome questions and anything that interests you about my knives, building process, leatherwork, cowboying heck bout anything feel free.
If you are looking for one of my knives, check our website often. I usually have a batch of knives I'm currently working on or just put on the website. If you are thinking of something specific message me here or call.
Thanks again guys for all the kind words!
Here's the current batch I'm working on a couple of days ago. Bolsters are on but not the handle materials.
Bout halfway through yesterday's work. Ya can tell that this old plastic work table has seen a few knives:
Got this group finished up, hand sanded the handles and then buffed and polished. They are ready to be sharpened today. There are five with different wooden handles that need to be buffed and polished today. They were drying yesterday.
Couple recent sheaths for other folks knives:
A few knives from a while back:

Dave’s knives and leather. I’m not a current owner but have been a long time appreciator. Here is one of his current creations.
