Shown below are most of my models and knife types.
Click on any of the models below to see more examples of the same model knife. The beauty of custom work is that each one doesn't come stamped out of a mold...it can be closer to what the user would desire instead of just what can be had. If you see something you like, reference it or send the pic back to me. I'll give you a current quote. Material prices vary. Below are some basic prices of some of my best-sellers.

HOW ELSE TO DESCRIBE IT...EVERYTHING ELSE!
Paragon Knives- I have done all kinds of work lately with Paragon Asheville Steel. Take a look...
All knives shown here are guaranteed 100% handmade by me with the finest materials.
Each knife of every model has a unique serial number.
All knives shown are crafted by stock removal method with a hollow grind unless otherwise noted. I usually use 440-C stainless, some other hard steels. I do all heat-treating to the blades myself, as well as my own engraving. Every pin, guard, bolster, blade and handle is crafted by me. You will rarely find a combination of the best materials crafted into quality, durable, functional knives for such nominal prices!
Knives do come in American-made sheaths. Most are leather that I mold to the individual knife. A few are ballistic and that is noted in the details. Material costs and availability vary.
