The new forge is finally finished. It took more than a month to get the new shop completed and up and running. During that time I didn't get much knife work done, but I am working on several pieces now and should be posting some new knives over the next few weeks. The new shop should allow me to more work done and hopefully, with a quicker turn-around time. I invite you to take a virtual tour of the shop. Just click on the link below.

Lion Head Knife based on an original as seen in Madison Grant's The Knife in Homespun America, this knife features a handle cast in fine pewter. At least a couple examples of this type are known to exist, the one in Grant's book was found in Ohio with a history of Indian use. The lion motif distinguishes this knife as an early piece, most likely mid-late 18th century. I hand-carved the pattern for the handle, which is cast, polished and an aged finish applied. The 4 inch blade is also lightly aged. Handle length 3 3/4 inches. $225
