We finished a job for Dixon Directional this week. Dixon Directional is an oil and gas company in Houston, TX. We created cocktail knives (aka bar knives) for their sales team to give out as gifts to their customers. A bar knife is handy to cut lemons, limes, etc. while making and serving cocktails. We've [...]
I don't think there is anything more disappointing than going to a nice restaurant, ordering a $50 dollar steak and them handing you a serrated knife. They bring out a delicious, perfectly cooked steak and then you have to butcher and saw at it with a cheap, Made In China, piece of crap steak knife. [...]
We recently completed two Bowie / camping knives. One of these is for a customer and one of them was entered into the 1st annual Texas Makers contest. While both of them are damascus they are different styles of damascus. The Bowie with the dark blade is made from carbon based damascus and we left [...]
We completed a knife for Rear Admiral Silah of the US Navy this week. He chose a purple and black G10 handle w/ a red linen bolster. Stainless pins on this 13" OAL chef knife keep it streamlined and cleaned. We are honored to have the opportunity to build this monster of a knife for [...]

We have a few custom chef knives, paring knives, etc. that are available now. We don't get the chance to create inventory that often so they typically go pretty quick. 3 sold the first day wo/ us posting this information. Someone happened by our shop and took 3 of them home. There are some really [...]
I finished a monumental knife this week that we've just been calling "The Mammoth Knife". The 8" blade (13" OAL) is done in Twist Damascus (AEB-L and 304) by Devin Thomas who is well known as one of the best damascus makers in the US, if not the world. The handle is woolly mammoth tooth [...]
We finished up a really unique slicer w/ some killer materials. This custom slicing knife is 12" overall w/ a 7.5" blade in 440c stainless steel. The handle is made from exhibition grade, fiddle back Koa from Hawaii. The bolsters are dovetailed and are made from exhibition grade, non-kill, water buffalo horn w/ honey tones. [...]
We finished a nice cleaver this weekend for a chef in Hawaii. He chose a nice cut of Hawaiian Koa fiddleback wood that really came out in the final stages of grinding. Happy to see this wood returning home. We don't make custom cleavers here in Austin, TX but we enjoy the opportunity when someone [...]
