Real elk stag. Handmade blades. Made one at a time.
Every blade and every finger guard is made in the shop, then fitted with a handle of real elk stag. No two come out the same.
One man, start to finish
The man who shapes the blade, makes the guard and fits the handle is the man who answers the phone. No factory, no middleman.
No two are the same
Elk stag grows how it grows. Every handle has its own shape, color and texture, so your knife is the only one like it.
Built to be used
These aren't wall hangers. They're made to be carried, used and handed down.
The Knives
Eight knives in the shop right now, most with real elk stag handles. Each one is made by hand, so each one is different. Tap a photo to see it bigger. Sold to adults 18 and over.
Sold Knives
Knives that have already found an owner. They're here to show what comes out of the shop. Like something you see? Ask for one built along the same lines.
How They're Made
The Blade
Each blade is shaped by hand in his shop. He makes every one himself.
The Guard
The finger guard is made in the shop too, then fitted snug against the blade.
Elk Stag Handle
Real elk stag, cut and fitted by hand. The natural texture gives a sure grip, and no two handles match.
Caring for your knife
- Wipe it dry after every use, especially after cleaning game or fish.
- Oil the blade lightly now and then to keep rust away.
- Never use a dishwasher. Hand wash only. Heat and soaking are hard on the blade and the stag.
- Don't store it in the sheath for long stretches. Leather holds moisture against the steel.
Christopher Myers
If it has to do with the outdoors (hiking, fishing, camping, caving, you name it), I'm in. That love for the outdoors is what got me into what I love most: knife making.
For 10 years I've been making knives by hand right here in Carrollton, Georgia. I shape every blade, make every finger guard, and fit every elk stag handle myself, one at a time, in my shop. Nothing here is mass produced.
Thanks for supporting 10 years of handmade in Carrollton.

When it's finished
The other half is paid when your knife is complete.
Common Questions
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Camp knives, hunting knives, bushcraft blades, or something you've drawn on a napkin. Tell him the idea and he'll tell you if he can build it.
What's the deposit?
Half the agreed price up front on a custom knife. It buys the materials, so it is non-refundable. The other half is due when the knife is finished.
Why do the knives look different from each other?
Because they are. Every one is made by hand and every handle is natural elk stag, so shape, color and finish vary from knife to knife.
Are these knives meant to be used?
Yes. They're working knives, not display pieces. Keep them dry and lightly oiled and they'll outlast you.
Do I have to be 18?
Yes. Knives are sold to adults 18 and over only. You're also responsible for knowing the knife laws where you live, since they differ from state to state. See the knife notice.
Do you ship, or is it pickup?
Ask when you get in touch. Plain fixed-blade knives like these can be shipped by normal carriers, but a knife is never sent anywhere your local law forbids it.
