C.thomas Knives

Handcrafted from North Idaho

 

 

Text Box: WELCOME 
Specializing in sporting, utility and kitchen knives.
	Most blades are crafted from Swedish industrial circular and band saw blades.
 [similar to  1084 with a little molybdenum and vanadium ] 
Recycled from the wood mills of North Idaho.  
	Handles are from natural horn, antler, exotic wood and micarta. From start to finish all the blades, handles, leather work and all processes are done by myself  in my shop.
	My knives are my own design and are intended  to be used for that which they are made.  I stand behind my work as long as it is not abused. 
Also, I ‘m happy to work with a customer’s design or idea.
