Hello!  My name is Ryan Hurd!  I am 16 years old and I am a bladesmith.

Statistics:

Length: 10 1/2 inches

Blade length: 6 inches

Maximum blade thickness:  3/16 inch

This knife was totally handforged by me using the traditional blacksmithing techniques that I have been taught.  I used recycled truck springs so it is environmentally friendly.  The only grinding done on the knife was the final sharpening of the edge.  This guarantees a well and quickly forged product and keeps the price low.  It was hardened in oil and tempered.  It was sharpened on Japanese water stones and then honed with a strop.

The handle is spalted maple that was cut out of an old tree in a churchyard.  It has been stained with a tung oil.  It has 2 rivets fastening it to the knife. 

This knife has a very interesting finish.  Since I used recycled truck springs, the pitting creates a beautiful texture!

The price of this knife is $60.

A sheath is available for an extra cost.

Thank you for buying!
