Thanks for sharing your process! Really great to see how you get to end product. You mentioned batoning; is that something your knives will hold up to doing?
Thank you for the comments however the last one is incorrect. My knives are available to anyone, however I do not offer them to custom order from my site any longer. They are available to purchase on a first come first served basis and to those who have joined and are notified from my waitlist. I do except phone orders at times, depending on my workload. Thank you again
Absolutely beautiful. A real heirloom knife that will last anyone a lifetime. Perfect fit and finish. My favorite style of knife is the frontier knife because it is born out of the need of authentic people for a strong, functional and beautiful tool. I'm subscribing and following for more. Thank you.
That is a beautiful handle. Excellent work. I do prefer a Hudson Bay design more than a Bowie. Better at chopping, longer useful edge. Bowie better at stabbing.
Scott, your work is fantastic! Every piece looks like it either came out of a time capsule or your grandfather's knife you found while rummaging through his storage trunk!

Scott - I’ve watched this short of the SE St. Lawrence Expedition Knife about 30 times looking at every angle - the blade shape, handle material, and that bolster - it’s a MASTERPIECE! WELL DONE!
A few years ago we stopped at the new WWII museum in New Orleans. That is the first place that I had ever seen one. The story was about the same as yours. Made from the plexiglass of a jap fighter plane. Wish I had a camera. We went on with our vacation and stopped in Fredericksburg Texas . There we found The museum of the Pacific. They also had the same style of knife same story. Again no camera. I contacted the museum. About all they could say was it is considered “Trench Art “ But that was all they knew. Other than what was put on the card next to. Pacific island. Glass canopy. Etc I was surprised to see it there. Not ever seeing one before or since. Never thought about looking here. Just for fun. We stopped at another museum in Lubbock Texas. They were having a special display for the glider troopers. The part of the movie “Saving Private Ryan. The scene about the glider and the General and his jeep. I thought was just a part of the movie that someone made up. Along the wall was a big picture frame a piece of glider cloth. And pictures and the story. It had really happened just about exactly how it was pro-traded. I never knew that either. Again no camera 🤣😂 I need to get out more. By the way did We win?😂
Once the K-bar hilts that were originally leather stacked pieces wore or rotted from the tropical weather, they were often constructed of parts salvaged from downed aircraft, including Plexiglas from canopies, metals like brass and aluminum and Bakelite in many colors (used as electrical insulation in planes & boats).The knife was re-hilted in the field and the very attractive theater made grip is constructed of numerous washers made from clear Plexiglas, aluminum and burgundy colored Bakelite. Ypur knife could have been reworked in a number of locations in Asia. If I was to take a wild guess, i would say it was done in the Philippines.
Thank you!...and my favorite coffee is Death Wish!....I've heard of Speeder and Earl's but have never tried it. I believe they are in Burlington VT if I'm not mistaken. Thanks again
I have a question. How do you tell the difference between the file skating because the blade is hard vs skating because the edge of the blade is smooth?
Ok .....once the blade is hardened, if it's done correctly.....a file will skate across the blade or any part of the blade which is hardened regardless of where. If you try the file on the end of the handle where I don't typically harden, there is a noticeable difference....and you can tell very clearly what is and is not hardened. Thanks for asking
