I wanted to let everyone know that my books are open, and I am eager to take on some custom work. My typical work falls into the EDC/camp knife categories, but I have completed several kitchen knives as well as daggers and a few unique designs.
My steel selections include 1084, 15n20, 52100, W2, virgin steel cable, and 80CrV2. I have plenty of experience with damascus, and I can even include some nickel sheet if the job calls for something special.
My handle materials include a range of natural and synthetic options, including various stabilized hardwoods, G10, and resins. If I do not have what you're looking for, I can usually find what is needed.
All of my leather work is done by me, by hand. I do all the patterning, all the tooling, all the dyeing, and all the stitching in house. All my sheaths receive double stitching for a stronger, more pronounced stitch line. I have a variety of colors for both leather dye and stitching.
I would love the opportunity to help you realize your dream knife. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, either here through the forum messaging, or you can reach me at runningbearsteel@gmail.com.
I'm including some photos of some of the custom projects I've completed, but if you would like to see a larger sampling of my work, please check out my website: https://www.runningbearsteel.com/
