Neilson, J.

"I work from my "shop in the woods" in the endless mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. I have been able to develop my longtime interests in knife making and forging into more than just a hobby. All aspects of the knife making are done by me, using both forging and stock removal methods, including on site heat treating and both laminate and canister damascus making. I offer fixed blade knives, mostly bowies, daggers, hunter/skinner styles, everyday carry and historic replicas as well as the occasional tomahawk and sword. I forge my blades out of high carbon steels such as 1080/84/95, W1-2, 5160, 52100, 15N20, Cru-forge V and my own Damascus steels. As a firm believer that a knife and sheath should come as a set and complement each other, each fixed blade knife comes with a custom fitted sheath. The leather work is done by some of the best traditional and primitive style leather crafters in the USA, using a variety of leathers, both domestic and exotic. Each sheath is designed for each individual knife using custom carving, tooling, inlays, etc."
