I am honored to have been advised by the national knife publication, Blade Magazine, that I will be featured in the August edition of the “Knifemaker Showcase.”  The “Hebi” (Japanese for Serpent) mini-Bowie knife (Pictured above) will be showcased, as well as my background and information on my knife making.

The following month, I will have another knife showcased in the “What’s New” section of Blade as well.  It is an honor and a privilege to make it into the magazine.

 

The “Hebi” mini-Bowie is made of 22-layer takefu suminigashi Japanese steel.  It has black G10 bolsters and pommels, with emerald green jigged bone handle scales, attached with in-house made mosaic pins, as well as a 1/4″ brass lanyard tube and accompanying 1/8″ brass front pin.
