Here is a sneak peek of Mountain Shadow, which I will have with me next week at @artsinmetalshow and @blade_show in Atlanta. It is a Nepalese cavalry saber, featuring a 33” compound-hollow-ground blade (including a 20” sharpened back edge) in 147,600 layer damascus steel and a 6” hilt in blued steel and claro walnut with silver accents. #handmadesword #damascussword #damascussteel #mastersmith #swordcollector
I think it’s been 6 or 8 years since I did my last axe. This is a foxy little hatchet in feather damascus. Specs: 5.625” long, 2.625” edge, 424 grams or ~15oz. #hatchet #handmadeaxe #damascusaxe #featherdamascus
Fresh off the bench for Blade Show next month, a 9” gyuto in New England Breeze stainless damascus and stabilized afzelia. I will have this piece available at my table (2Q) June 5-7. The steel was forged for me by my good friend Will Brigham @the_artificery and the wood is from Ben Greenberg @greenberg_woods . #kitchenknife #gyutoknife #luxurykitchen #handmadeknife
Progress on my top secret Nepalese cavalry saber…
This is “Ethos,” a piece I did in collaboration with @wanderer.metalworks who contributed the exceptional (and extensive) engraving and inlay work on the bolster and the scabbard. The blade is 1000-layer damascus steel, and the hilt is African blackwood, 18k gold, jade, and blued steel with 18 and 22k gold accents. The scabbard is basswood, lined inside and out with leather. The fittings are steel with 22k gold accents. This is, in my opinion, the best piece I have ever made—yet, that is. Stay tuned for more to come. #artknife #museumquality #goldinlay #mastersmith
I think I’ll call this piece “The Turning.” 12.5” blade, 18”
Overall. Damascus, ironwood burl, silver, and blued steel. I’ll have this one with me in Atlanta. @artsinmetalshow #artsinmetalshow #artknife #dagger #mastersmith
I have been meaning to make this little wood insert for my drill press table for literally 13 years. It took considerably less than 5 minutes. Better late than never?
Texture! We’ve all seen highly polished handles a thousand times. I like highly polished handles. This is not that. #arizonaironwood #ironwood #ironwoodburl #knifehandles
Here’s a peek at the steel on this 12.5” swept dagger blade. Super dense compound twist. This is one of the pieces I’ll have with me at @artsinmetalshow next month. #damascussteel #damascusknife #mastersmith #bladesmith
Some caustic chemistry here at the studio this morning. I’m bluing (blackening) some steel parts.
This show is coming up FAST! If you’d like to get in a room with some exciting work, come to Atlanta and check it out! @artsinmetalshow #knifeshow #artknife #mastersmith #knifecollector
A little something I’m working on for @artsinmetalshow in June. #dagger #ironwood #damascussteel #mastersmith

An integral Whisp in some unusual damascus. I’m liking this one quite a bit! #smallknives #smallknife #damascussteel #handmade
