Sweeping Grindlines

My signature on all my work are the grindlines. Not only do they look attractive, but more so they are a functional and revolutionary design feature. For further reading, please see article in Knives Illustrated page 18 December 2004 issue.

Invisible Screw Construction

Many higher end folding knives feature visible screw construction. I find this very distracting to the overall look of the knife. My folding knives are constructed with invisibly screws. While more tedious to construct, this allows great design flow with a solid construction method.

Hidden Bolster Fastening

Many higher end knives with damascus bolsters feature visible pin or screw fastening. I find this very distracting to the overall look of the knife. My solution is to invisibly pin the bolsters, a secure and solid construction method, without visual distractions.

Differentially Tempered Stainless

Myth disputed, the fruit of my research, a clearly defined temper line (see arrows, the light line) in the CPM S30V stainless blade. This is going to stir some controversy within the knife community and beyond. For further reading please see Blade Magazine February Issue 2004, page 122. Note: Image has to be scanned dark, so the temper line is visible.
