R.E.H. Knives: 2011

MAKING

Each of my knives is a one of a kind item. They are forged from 5160 tool steel and heat treated in a three step process, leaving a hardened edge and a softer spine. This hardening and tempering allows the blades to take a sharp edge while not being brittle in use. I grind away only what is necessary to make a useful blade, leaving most of the fire and hammer marks as a record of it's making. After grinding, blades are carefully hand sanded to 1000 grit to produce a satin finish. The handles are constructed mainly of Micarta and deer antler. Each knife comes with a hand sewn leather sheath.
I make forms which are, what I would call, functional sculpture. I want them to be beautiful to look at while being useful tools which feel good in the hand. A large part of the aesthetics of a knife lies in it's use as a tool. I want the owner of my knives to feel free to carry and use them and let LIFE leave its marks. -REH
