An exciting project fresh off the bench. This dirk features a 12” blade in river of fire damascus steel, damascus furniture, carved African blackwood, and solid gold accents. The spectacular multi-metal inlay and sculpted engraving was done by Tyler Sofie @wanderer.metalworks and I have to say he absolutely crushed it. This was an exciting project!

Steel in the fire, hammers thrumming, rain beating a rhythm on the roof. Nice.

Y’all, it would be fair to say that I have been a very, very busy boy. Here’s my annual shot of the inventory I’ll have with me at the 91st Annual Craftsmen’s Fair at Mount Sunapee in Newbury New Hampshire from August 3-11! I’ll be in my usual spot in Tent 6. Looking forward to seeing you there! #newhampshire #newhampshirelife #sunapee #craftfair

Big fella! This is a 12” chef in Raindrop (also sometimes called Pool & Eye) damascus steel with Arizona ironwood burl, micarta, and brass. Really happy with this one. #chef #cooking #damascussteel #mastersmith

“Birthday activities.” Picked up 35 liters of frosty liquid nitrogen, which I use to cryogenically treat my stainless steel knives. Done after plate quenching from very high temperatures, this additional step squeezes another couple points of hardness out of the steel. #liquidnitrogen #cryogenic #cryogenics #craftsmanship

Now we’re cooking with gas. And, equally importantly, without! This is my new @hot_shot_ovens kiln, which is equipped with an argon inlet. Argon is a fairly heavy, inert gas, and injecting into the kiln will purge the oxygen out, which will permit me to heat treat stainless steel parts (i.e. knives) without oxidizing (i.e. ruining) them, and without individually foil-wrapping each one (which is the worst). Very excited! #heattreatment #heattreating #stainlesssteel #science

A sweet little piece I snagged for myself at Blade Show, by Curt @freehillblades . I just dig his lines, and I think sweet little knives are criminally under-appreciated. #collection #edcgear #koa #sanmai

Kinda doing my thing here. A pack of slipjoint folders in AEB-L (stainless) in progress. My usual strategy when learning something new is: do it once under guidance, then do it once or twice on my own to make sure I’ve got it. Then dive in and do it 10+ times to really cement it in. I guarantee I’ll learn some things on this batch, and I’ll *almost* guarantee that I’ll end up scrapping a couple. #learning #craftsman #handmade #slipjoint #mastersmith
