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.
Mirror finished camp chopper featuring high contrast resin/burl and a veg-tan sleeve.
Second knife of the same release. Honey-toned burl, lighter and grainier, on a reshaped profile that smooths out earlier stress points along the spine.
The first of a small three-knife release. Russian olive burl set in a vivid blue-green stabilizing resin, paired with a refined acid etch process for a cleaner, more even dark blade.
A shift in finish: long, layered acid etches produce a deep, oxide-dark surface I've kept using since. Scales were reshaped for a better thumb grip and a proper lanyard hole.
The first knife I finished and sold. Mirror-polished blade, two-tone burl scales, and the first fitted leather sheath built from a repeatable template.
A gentle drop-point profile with a warm orange Russian olive burl handle. The first knife where I timed every task. That habit stuck.
A gift knife with a vivid green resin streak through dark burl. Sheath shape, stamping, and finish all improved here, and I dropped the spine's false edge for a cleaner profile.
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.
If you’d like to hear when the next knives are ready, send me a note.
