About the Maker
Humphrey, Lon
I have experimented with many different ways of fabricating a knife and I am convinced that a forged knife out performs any other type of blade. The steel I?m currently working with is W2 but I can also work in 5160 and any of the 10 series steels which are all high carbon tool steel . I don?t work with any stainless steel. My philosophy on making knives is simple?if it?s made by a machine it?s not handmade. I forge all my blades by hand. I do use a power hammer to work down large stock to smaller size and to make my Damascus but I don?t use any type of CNC equipment. If you?re paying a few hundred dollars for a handmade knife are you buying someone?s ability to program a CNC mill or a work of art made the way it would have been a hundred years ago?
