"Giving You An Edge"

Three rewarding Antique Meat Cleaver restorations for a customer’s Christmas gift. Photos of Before and After. I replaced the handles with matching walnut and 3/16” brass pins. The small cleaver’s handle has some beautiful chatoyance.

The large cleaver is a two-hander. Very cool piece with a tapered full tang handle construction. Unfortunately the blade was cracked ages ago, so I put a small tack weld on the tip to hold the crack shut.

I removed the deep rust and corrosion while leaving the historical hammer marks that tell each blade’s story and character. The dull edges got a fresh razor sharp finish.

This is still my favourite knife to process a deer… I designed the blade curvature, length, and blade geometry to perform great while skinning and gutting. This exact knife was used many times this fall by customers who raved about it.

Winter forging is here in Northern Ontario! In this reel I’m twisting and forging a railroad spike into a knife. Twisting is easily done by hand if you have it hot enough 🥵

The learning and progression is nonstop 😆 there’s a constant iteration of improvement that seems to cycle in my creative process. For a chunk of time I’ll focus on handle shaping, then it will be bevelling, next it will be leatherwork… then start all over! It’s easy to get caught up in the next goal or “thing” to improve on, so focusing on the adventure and being present has really been a winning mindset for me.

CAN THIS KNIFE GET MORE CANADIAN?! 🫎🍁 🇨🇦 I made this handle from Moose Antler and Curly Maple. The Moose antler was found by my parents in Quebec last winter. They were driving their snowmobiles down a trail following some Moose tracks and noticed that the moose had shed its antler just minutes before they got there! This story will be forever captured in this blade.

Not on my website yet. DM to claim! $250 CAD shipped.

Not staged. This isn’t a fashion fad for me - people who know me understand that I don’t have a fashion bone in my body, but @carhartt makes quality clothing that is comfortable and warm to work in. As an active outdoorsman I know that the weather is only as bad as your clothing!

In this reel I’m applying protective wax on a newly completed fillet knife that’s wearing Indian Rosewood. Waxing is one of the most rewarding steps in the knife making process as I get to review my work in detail.

Forging out a Damascus billet on the power hammer. Right now it’s 12 layers of steel. My goal is to cut it up and restack it in 6 pieces to make 72 layers. This is a custom ordered chef knife - a very exciting piece to work on!

A few quick clips from forge welding Damascus today. I’m cleaning a piece of steel on the belt grinder, heating the steel billet in the forge, and setting the welds on the hydraulic press.

I finished this euro skull mount this week and I’m very happy with the result.

Based on conversations with a taxidermist and my own research on whitetail molar wear, I believe she is 10+ years old. I would love your opinion on how old you think this deer is.

I've hunted the same small plot of land since 2015 and have had many close interactions with deer. These encounters have humbled me, allowed me to grow as a person, and taught me woodsmanship. It is fun to speculate that this doe and I have crossed paths before, and she may have been the mother of bucks I have taken in the past.

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to harvest, field dress, butcher, and cook fresh meat for family and friends. Her skull will stay in my house as a reminder and symbol of the true sacrifice she has given.

Customer photos make me smile. Here’s a knife and sheath I made last year and I’m glad he could put it to work on a big whitetail buck this fall.

“It will test you in ways you never expected.
Days will pass in silence, and patience will feel endless.
You will miss shots and sit through sunrises without seeing a thing.
One day, you may wound an animal, and it will stay with you.

It will teach you life’s hardest truths.
You’ll find that one moment, one decision, can shift everything.
You’ll learn that the world is indifferent; the rain, the heat, the wind. They don’t stop for anyone.
You’ll learn resilience, to keep moving even when the odds aren’t in your favor.

It will remind you of life’s quiet beauty.
You’ll see a mother and her fawn, and feel both joy and restraint.
You’ll be humbled by the sharp call of a doe, close enough to hear her breath.
You’ll witness dawn breaking, and it will remind you why you’re here.
You will feel, for once, what it means to be prey.
In the wild, you’ll see sights so pure they make everything else pale.

It will shape you in unexpected ways.
The animals you take will not leave you unchanged.
You’ll carry the weight of choices - of letting go or taking life.
You’ll face your deepest fears, the shadows within yourself.
In the dark woods, you’ll learn the language of silence.
And you’ll learn the balance that holds life and death in equal weight.

You will find... yourself.

You’ll learn a passion rooted in grit and grace.
You’ll feel strength where you didn’t know it was hidden, peace where others find silence.
You’ll know the depth of empathy and the calmness of solitude.

This is the place where your most profound lessons lie.
The memories you make here will feel like home.

It’s where you’ll find laughter, tears, and clarity.
It’s where you’ll learn the art of stillness, of silence.

And it’s where you’ll choose to return, time and time again, without regret.

This is what we call the Hunt.” - Turkey Hunter
