We do make knives to order. Blades are either high carbon or damascus steel. We don't work with stainless steel. There is a wide selection of Australian hardwoods to choose for handles, or alternate materials on request.

We'll usually send through a progress picture to confirm it is going how you would like.

There is normally a waiting list, so please don't ring up in a rush, to be fair on those ahead in the line. This also avoids dissapointment when we can't make them in time. It may be quicker to enroll on a course and make it yourself (depending on the knife you want and your skills).

Pricing is worked out by time with additions depending on the materials used.

We stock a range of high carbon steel (1055, 1075 and 15N20) for bladesmithing or stock removal. The steel works well under the hammer and has minimal movement in heat treatment. The steel is annealed ready for filing or grinding. This is not precision ground stock (hence the good price) so they may be slight warpage which is easily hammered or bent out.

Price is quotes per metre, but happy to sell shorter or longer lengths (maximum 1600mm). Cutting to length is no charge. Postage/freight extra so please let us know where you are when you order. This is in limited supply so contact us now to order.

For composition and heat treating information see Properties of Carbon Steel
