Forged from high carbon steel recovered from lumber mill head saw blades.
A fixed blade knife, 6 inch forged drop point blade and built for survival in the bush. The blade is hardened with clay protecting the spine and then differentially tempered, blending tempers keeping the knife's spine and tang tough and keeping the edge strong. Custom Boar knives can have 5" handles, 1/4" thick spines with moose antler scales held with threaded and peened brass and stainless steel pins.

A story about boars in the BC forest
A few years ago a man squatting in the bush raised pigs. Lots of pigs. He ran out of money and decided to let them out to range in the bush. They ended up invading some folks’ garden. 6 times, each time more came. The folks hiked to the location in the bush where he had his pen. They left a note. No response. The folks hiked in again. The second time a note on a tree beside his road. They spent full days warding off the pigs. Desperate, they visited his 85 year-old mother. Invited her and her son to dine…They ignored the folks’ invitation.
The boar was at least 400 pounds. The pigs were digging up their gardens, they dug up a 5 year-old apple tree, the asparagus garden, carrots, like machines they excavated. The promise of a full root cellar in the fall was evaporating. The folks knew they were in the midst of a big problem. The Forest people got involved. Told the folks they could shoot them on site. They asked if the police could help. The police said if they didn’t deal and work it out between themselves they would come in. If they came in they were going to do something…. nobody needs that, the folks thought.
Word got out that there were boars in the bush. In a couple of weeks the pigs and the squatter were gone.

We forged the knife from head saw steel. The tip, spine, choil and tang are protected with a thicker layer of clay. The rest of the blade, except the edge, is covered with a clay slip. While the clay slip is still wet we cover it with glass. Hardened in oil twice. The spine and tang is tempered to blue. The whole blade is then tempered in an oven 3 times for a strong edge.
Moose antler scales held with 8 threaded and peened pins. A lanyard hole drilled and a braided a short lanyardis provided. The guard is a big piece of brass forged with copper. The sheath is cut and made from 8 oz. leather, double saddle stitched, tooled and dyed. All by hand. We equipped the scabbard with a leg tie. The boreal forest is the theme.
