Hi some of you may be familiar with my work and other may have no knowledge. I have been discussing steel up in the other knife area, and have enjoyed the conversation. I really do enjoy knives, and all the methods used to construct them

Currently wrapping up a career in the US Army have a wonderful wife and 2 children.

I have been making custom knives for a little over 2 years, I really enjoy the craft and the people i meet along the way. Some of these people have become really close friends its one of the greatest benefits.

I work out of my shop which was formally known as a 2 car garage in hot *** louisiana, with plans to relocate to Oregon.

Anyways here is some of my work

Thanks
Spencer

These are a few of the designs I build or have built.

Hey, those look like some nice work! :goodjob: And moving to Oregon... I like you already.

That is a very interesting yokote grind on the tantos, quite stubby. And that SAR Kitchen set is sweet too.
I look forward to what you have to offer.

Hello SAR.
I saw your work in Tactical Knives magazine. I really liked one of your knives. My wife didn't. I may still buy it.
Your photographer is well known on CPF.

Lovely work SAR, I sent my Gurkha pal your kukri picture, you no doubt know they're very proud of their knives. He asked me what trousers you are wearing.

My favorite shop pants are double leg heavy canvas Carhart carpenter's, they will last a guy forever built the right way....to last.


Thanks everyone for the great response, I have contacted some other very good custom makers to come over and get some of there work posted up.

Here is a SARclops in the hand

Hey Spencer.. Welcome to CPF!!!

I like your take on the kuhk... very nicely executed, looks like it will chop like a beast and not too big or unwieldy to hanlde as well.

What steel did you use on those and how heavy are they? looks like they are double edged... are they?

Nice work on melding the 2 handle materials together as well... thats CF and burl of some sort right?? I'm guessing redwood burl??

Excellent! I really like those!

Sar your work is seriously beautiful, we need to get you a business partner to make tactical style (haha no one better give me any for that :p) flashlights, I think they compliment knives quite well.
