Custom Tools

(move cursor over small pictures for enlargements)
Lead time on custom tools is not "next day". It frequently takes several weeks with many emails back and forth before all the details are gone over and I have a thorough understanding of what the customer wants (blade profile and cross sections, what woods the tool will be used to cut which determines the bevels and heat treatment, handle size and type of wood, etc.). While I enjoy the challenge of making custom tools, they are quite expensive because they take so long to make and everything else in the shop has to come to a complete standstill.

Below are some examples of custom tools I've made for customers. (scroll ddown for more)

My carving knives are intended for serious wood carvers. They are razor sharp and can be very dangerous if used improperly. Please be careful and don't allow young people to use them unsupervised.

Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you have a problem of any kind with one of my knives, please let me know. I will make it right with you.
