Stacking up some work for 2025. I had around 7-8 billets of laminated Damascus in bar form on my desk, so forged out about 25ish knives, these are 15 preforms that I’ll be laddering, rain drop and some other stuff before forging into a wa kitchen knife.

Crackling scale on a couple kitchen knives being normalized. The cladding on this is salvaged steel from an old ranch tool. Excited to see how it’ll turn out, core is 52100 being normalized at 1700 degrees

Back in the shop (and have been for about a week) but still needed a bit of social media vacation. Forgot to post this custom order I finished up early December. It’s a half feather pattern I actually salvaged off @dotsonknives end cuts, I forged both out, one worked out, one didn’t.

Getting down to the wire to ship for holiday orders. Still some good ones on the site for sure. #chefs #kitchenessentials #cutlery

Another look at the Damascus gyuto with snakewood. This one sold, but lots more available !

A few more AEBL knives on the site before the final holiday push. (Far right is sold)

Bunka with 52100 and 15n20 core, and heavy 15n20 cladding.

New Damascus knife online, super happy with the end result on this one.

Another Chefs knife to be listed, this one Suminagashi Damascus with a snakewood hidden tang. #kitchenknife #handmade #chef

Another one getting ready to list, a deep etch and polished finish on the Damascus

Some custom Macrums heading to Vivront in Minneapolis.

Nice little 3 knife set all finished up in Stainless with koa and bog oak handles.

Getting back into Bluesky, one of the Damasteel invitational knives I finished up for last week.

Just wanted to share a forging photo, here making a San mai billet for a chefs knife

Sold this one a bit back, but love how the ladder pattern turned out so figured I’d post it up, thanks for looking!

Another recently finished knife, this one stainless Damascus from Damasteel. Handle is clear G10 over red liners. #kitchenessentials

Just started my Blusky account and will start it off with this San mai Gyuto
