A little fire, a bigger hammer, and some good old-fashioned persuasion.

This is where the axe starts to come alive.

Every sheath is made to complement the knife it carries, with attention to fit, function, and the little details that often go unnoticed. Over time, the leather develops its own story, wearing in with every trip to the field, the shop, or the outdoors.

Every hole is drilled with purpose.

Whether it's for pins, lanyards, or hardware, this is one of those steps that doesn't get much attention, but it sets the stage for everything that comes after. Once the holes are drilled, the knife starts coming together piece by piece.

It's not the loudest part of the process, but it's another step toward a finished blade.

Back to makin' knives.
