Custom forged handmade knives using carbon tool steels: 52100, W2, O1, 1095, 15n20 to make both Damascus steel blades and Carbon steel blades of the finest quality.

 


One of a kind handle materials like: Fine Hardwoods, Sambar Stag antler, Walrus Ivory, Oosic and Horn for most of my knives but I will use whatever material you want for your custom order...

Hello, I'm John H Davis and I make Damascus cutlery and knives in my forge in Freetown, Indiana... As well as Stainless Steel knives.

For  as long as I can remember I have had a knife in my pocket and even as a  5-yr. old heading to the woods to go fishing I had a knife in my pocket.  My Dad made sure I knew how to use it rather than say I could not have  one while I was away from home. It seemed to me the most natural thing  that a person would have a knife with them to do whatever chore that  needed it, no matter where they were going.   Well as the years  went by I started making knives for friends or family and give them for  Christmas presents and each time I would study to make it better.  When I  heard the American Bladesmith Society had a school to teach  bladesmithing I had to go, so it was off to the ABS Bladesmithing School  in Old Washington, AR... It was there that I was able to study under  ABS Mastersmith's Jim Crowell and Bruce Fuller, where I was able to learn  some of the techniques and principles of these Mastersmith's and confirm  some of the hard-learned lessons of trial and error. My goal in taking  this class was to refine my knife forging skills and to be able to make  the best knife I can. I am also glad to say that Master knifemaker Herb  Derr is a good friend of mine and he has been instrumental in how I make  my Damascus steel for my knives. Herb Derr has been open to my visits  to his shop and has helped me in my journey to making the best knife I  can. He was the one that encouraged me to do my first knife show. He  also helped me become a probationary member of the Knifemakers Guild. I  am presently the President of the Florida knifemakers Association, a  full Voting member of the Knifemakers Guild and an Apprentice member of  the American Bladesmith Society.
