Happy New Year

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank you all for your interest in The Old Stump Blog.  I greatly appreciate those who have purchased knives, palm tools, and carvings from me over the past year and I hope that each item has exceeded your expectations.  I also hope that everyone has enjoyed the tutorials and following along with me on my carving adventures.

I haven't had much time at all to carve over the past several months.  Sometimes life takes a turn and interests change.  I have recently started making high-end custom knives which are way above and beyond my simple carving knives.  It has been a real challenge learning the techniques and acquiring all the tools required for fine knife making.  Here are some samples of my work so far.



 








Each one of these knives is hand made by myself alone from my own custom designs.  The folding knives are particularly challenging, and finessing the folding and lock mechanisms just right is very rewarding.  Here's a link to my photo album for several more views of each of these knives:

Custom Folders and Fixed Blades

If anyone would be interested in a handmade custom folder or fixed blade knife, just drop me an email.  I'd be happy to entertain any serious inquiries.

Again, a very Happy New Year and may 2014 be the best year for you yet!
