Ravenrock Knives
The numbered series

The work, in order.

I number every knife as it’s made: gifts, working knives, and sales alike. Newest first. Everything shown here has found a home; future knives will appear as they’re finished.

RRK-01-008 · Jul 2025 Sold

The first acid-etched blade.

RRK-01-006 · Mar 2025 Spoken for

Small camp knife

The skinner pair.

Two small working knives, built side-by-side as a paired set for skinning and leatherwork. RRK-01-002 was carried into the field and used to skin and quarter a mule doe. The fitted double sheath came later, made to carry both at once.

  • Sheath: Hand-stitched veg-tan double sheath
