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.
I offer simple hunting knives with brushed or forged finishes, stainless steel and a variety of damascus patterns. The cost is determined by the material and complexity of the knife. I offer affordable handle material such as mesquite, osage orange, micarta, some more exotic woods such as Australian and South American burls, stag, and high end material such as wooly mammoth tusk ivory and mammoth tooth. Most of my knives are ordered directly from my customer and they get exactly what they want. I also offer a variety of filework on the spines of the blades. I build hunting knives, kitchen cutlery, bowie knives and swords. User knives as well as display knives. I professionally heat treat all of my blades.
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 a 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.
