Dave with his custom-made knife and sheath. Dave made this beautiful camp knife from 1084 steel with brass and nickel pins and Honduran Rosewood scales.

This knife was made at LLForge's "Create a Custom Knife experience. Choose from knife blanks including Chef's knives, Skinners, Hunting, and Camp knife blanks to start your project. Choose from a wide selection of exotic wood, composite material scales and blocks for your handle, and your choice of brass, nickel, or micarta pins in four sizes. After selecting your blank handle material and pins you will begin your custom knife project by grinding the surface and primary bevel. We will harden and temper your blade and finish shaping and installing your scales or hidden tang handle. You will sharpen your knife with a controlled angle jig and finish by making a leather or Kydex sheath.
