Welcome my knife page. I am very passionate about bladesmithing and I continuously strive to make each knife better than the last. I am a member of the Texas Knifemakers Guild and a certified Lone Star Knifemaker, My focus is on quality and building every knife to be an outstanding user. Unless stated otherwise, I forge weld all of my damascus in a variety of patterns. Much of my work is done to order which allows me to offer the customer any handle they want paired with the blade of your choice. Want a KC Chiefs themed stainless steel chef knife? I can do that. How about a fish scale handle stainless filet knife? I can do that too. My creations include exotic collector knives, kitchen cutlery, hunting knives and even swords. I use stabilized handle material, the best steels, and my blades are precisely heat treated so they take and hold an edge as they should. You may see cheap “damascus” blades out there but, trust me, you get what you pay for. Many of these blades are made in the middle east with scrap steel that may not harden and etched to look like damascus … by folks that do not like us. I hope you choose to buy American made by home grown small businesses. Thank you for your consideration, Email me with your inquiry at sycamorecreekcreations@gmail.com Mention the identifier in bold and I can arrange to make you a sheath if you do not see one with the knife. I bill by emailing you a quickbooks invoice that can be paid securely online.
