Throughout history, few tools have been as essential as the knife, which has undergone millennia of refinement and adaptation to best suit different needs. Despite its timelessness, the knife remains an essential part of many people's lives, whether it is for work or hobby so whether it is the mundane tasks of opening up a package or something more exciting like cutting into a heavenly steak that has been marinated and cooked to perfection we try to make this tool into a work of art even by itself. There are also a variety of common uses for knives, such as whittling, construction and/or utilitarian cutting, shelter construction, and even self-defense and we have found that certain design aspects make a knife more effective at specific tasks than another design all of which influence how they are made. For example, in a bushcraft knife, you'd want a fixed blade knife with a high carbon content to help it maintain its edge and also produce more sparks when combined with a ferrocerium rod or something similar.

If you are like us and love the outdoors but more often than not you find yourself doing more mundane work tasks then our artisan knives will be the perfect gift for you or your loved ones as not only do they excel at their intended purposes they are also absolutely gorgeous and make awesome display items and excel at opening even the most elusive of letters and boxes. We know you’ve got a special place in your heart for those who brave the elements to enjoy nature. And we also know that there are some people out there who just like looking at beautiful things, and our Damascus bushcraft knives fit into both categories perfectly. They’re durable enough to be used every day but still look elegant on display. That makes them perfect gifts for everyone from your friend who loves camping to your friend whose home is filled with collections of knickknacks. You can even buy one for yourself! Our artisan knives are handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional methods passed down through generations, so they have an elegance that no factory-made knife will ever match.

Damascus steel is a combination of two or more steels that are layered and forged together several times. This combination gives it functional and aesthetic benefits. The Damascus steel used in these blades is a multi-layer forged steel composition that gives it multiple rings and lines of varying colors. This is one of the reasons it’s so popular. The steels used in Damascus steel are often a mix of high carbon steel and steel with nickel alloying, which gives it excellent hardness and toughness that resists brittle fracture and corrosion resistance. You can feel confident knowing your knife will be able to handle anything you throw at it! The steel is created by artisans with forging equipment; Damascus steel is constantly hot-worked to produce the desired dimensions and is thus unable to be manufactured on a large scale. As the process progresses, various heat-treating processes are employed to control distortion and develop desired mechanical properties for the finished product, which is used in artisanal metal products that must be ductile and hard. One of the most common uses is for knife making, cookware and utensils are other popular types of Damascus steel products. So whether you are attempting to survive in the wild outdoors or just wanting a gorgeous letter opener we aim to create exotic one-of-a-kind pieces that surpass the expectations of even the most critical. Please be sure to check back often as we mostly do furniture and decor but every now and then we produce new knives.
