Bowie Knife

Colonial Fire Tongs

Birch-leaf Fireplace Doors
Hand-forged in their entirety, from leaves to rivets.
Katana
Entirely hand-forged and polished – an exercise in patience. 11,000 layers of 1090/1040 steel kobuse-welded around a soft-iron core. Dimensions taken from a Kamakura-period Bizen. Fitted with a quilted-maple saya to reflect my western sensibilites.
