PLEASE CLICK HERE for our Special offers on our Knife Collection



All of OUR Tools are made from the very best Carbon, Damascus, Laminated, Semi Stainless or Stainless Steel. With handles or scales to compliment the style of the steel blank and hand sewn wet moulded sheaths that are purely to our patterns and designs. Costs range from £75-£800 for a complete item including sheath.

Our materials are sourced from sustainable areas of the world, such as the UK, America, Scandinavia, Africa and Australia. We use coloured Vulcanised Fibre, Acrylics, Brass, Nickel Silver, Moose, Woolly Mammoth, Reindeer Antler spacers and caps, with different types of bolsters that add extra style.

We have plenty of UK woods standing in planks as well as Micarta and Acrylics in sheet form, ready to be used, so handle sizes are not a problem.
Every tool and its components are gathered and matched at the time of making, together with an individually hand sewn and wet moulded vegetable tanned leather sheath. There will be some slight variation in the design and no two units will be quite the same.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE
We are always coming up with new ideas and shapes using the very latest materials and techniques with over 140 tools in our collection.

Lignum Vitae Palo Santo

Lignum Vitae Palo Santo EW-Lig-B BX-C

£9.00

Size 124mm x 40mm x 25mm. Part seasoned.

Botanical name: Bulnesia sarmienti

Origin: Paraguay
Although this wood has been used for generations for the same purposes as the genuine lignum vitaes (timber from the genus guiaicum) it has become a more important choice recently because very little of the Guaiacum lignum vitae is currently being exported.

Greenish brown to brown with a tight and pronounced interlocked grain, very dense, waxy with self lubricating qualities, hard wearing in almost all the contexts in which lignum vitae has traditionally been used.

BladeBond Fusion VMX

AOP-VMX

BladeBond Fusion VMX AOP-VMX

£19.00

A Variable Mix Ratio Epoxy Gel.

Fusion VMX is a revolutionary new epoxy that gives the blade Smith an unprecedented amount of control over the flex characteristics of the cured bond line between tang and scale. Our proprietary formula uses a highly advanced chemistry that allows the user to vary the ratio of resin to catalyst in order to achieve performance properties tailored specifically to the application or personal preference

Additionally, our newly optimised non-sagging/gap filling viscosity minimises excess run out, virtually eliminating the chance of a starved glue joint for measuring and mixing instructions please refer to some further instructions

Fusion VMx's unique chemistry allows it to be measured and mixed up to 50% in either direction to vary the flex characteristics of the cured bond line.

1 part resin to 1 part catalyst yields a moderately flexible bond line.

1 part resin .5 catalyst yields a stiffer bond line

1 part resin to 1.5 catalyst use a more flexible bond line.

To use, simply extract the desired amounts out of the containers using a lolly stick or similar and mix on a flat non-porous surface for two minutes. We recommend starting with a 1 : 1 mix and if necessary, adjusting the ratio as desired. Working time at room temperature: 45 minutes.

Full cure at room temperature: 24 hours

2 x 2oz pots of Catalyst and Resin, plus 8 mixing cups

We have tested this in our workshop and it is excellent value!
