Ravenrock began because I wanted a knife I could rely on — for game processing, cooking, camping, and the everyday work around the house.
I started making knives because I needed a tool I could trust. The first one I really stood behind was the Jackdaw: a no-nonsense, medium-sized drop point. Since then I've kept working through shapes and materials, trying to make each knife a little better than the last.
I take my time at every stage. When a knife is done I look at what worked and what didn't, and the next one gets adjusted accordingly. Every new project changes something.
My designs are named after corvids. Each one starts with a task — processing game, prepping food, working around camp — and the shape follows from there.
Medium-sized drop point built for hands-on utility: game processing, bushcraft, around the house.
A longer working blade, developed as a kitchen, camp, and food-prep knife.
More designs in the corvid line, each at a different stage of development.
A high carbon steel chosen for toughness and edge retention. Heat-treated in-shop in a controlled oven, then tempered for use.
Wyoming-sourced Russian olive burl, cast in pairs so no two handles match. Mounted on a G10 liner with brass hardware.
Some blades carry a solid acid etch; others a polished mirror finish.
Each sheath is hand-shaped to fit one specific knife, stitched and stamped with my maker's mark.
