Armour Cutlery

These are the standard models I make.  All prices are for knives with O-1 steel and brass or wrought iron hardware.  If you want something different, feel free to ask. 

Small Utilities                                                $105

3-5 inch straight or slightly curved blade.  A lot of my utility blades end up as bird and trout knives.

Large Utility                                                 $125

5-7 inch blade either straight or curved.  These can be done up as a fillet knife, a tanto, or a small camp knife.

Hunters                                                        $140

4 inch blade with either a straight or drop point

Skinners                                                       $140

5 inch blade wth either an upswept point or a dropped point on a "bullnose" or "humped" blade

Daggers                        small (under 6" blade) $150

                                        medium (6-8" blade) $200

                                       large (10-15" blade)   $235

These can be done up in a ton of different ways, from a fantasy piece to a decent working knife, from  modern tactical to something out of a James Fenimore Cooper novel.

Bowies                        small  (6-8" blade)   $190

                                     med.   (8-12" blade) $220

                                     large   (12-16" blade  $260

The quintessential American blade.  Too many versions to list.  You'll  want to go over with me exactly what you are looking for to make sure the blade you get feels "yours".

Trade Blades  &  Odds & Ends               $75

My way of using up short pieces of barstock and used   up files.  1-3" inch blades.  A lot of neck and patch knifes with some wierd lookin' ones thrown in.  Does not come with a sheath.  Reenactors love these to take and trade around at their events.

Steels Used

Most of my knives are made with O-1 tool steel.

Other steels I have used enough to trust my ability to make a good knife from are 1095, L-6, and 5160.

In addition to the brass and wrought iron I use, I can also  use stainless steel, nickel silver, and mokume for the fittings on your knife
