      <image:title>Archive - PIT - VIPER</image:title>
      <image:caption>The PIT-VIPER is somewhat of a "midtech" design. I have farmed out some of the more laborsome tasks to help reduce costs. The Blade profile has been cut out by waterjet, and the handle scales have been cut out using a 3-axis cnc machine. The rest of the knife is completely built by hand, one at a time. I still do all of my blade grinding, heat treat, cryo, and final fit and finish. Every PIT-VIPER comes with my personal guarantee against defect, FREE lifetime sharpening, and a certificate of Authenticity and Rockwell Hardness Test. Specs: Steel: CPM154 Thickness: .250" OAL: 14 3/4" Blade: 8 1/2" Handles: Canvas Micarta Handle Colors: Green or Black Sheath: Kydex with Tek-Lok system Sheath Option: Handmade wet-formed Leather. The first run of ten were marked, "ONE of TEN"!! There will be none numbered after that. Due to a large number of requests for a more "TACTICAL" version of my VIPER, I have designed the "PIT-VIPER" to fill those extreme needs!  </image:caption>

      <image:title>Archive - An Appropriate Use of Shrapnel</image:title>
      <image:caption>I got an e-mail a while back from a customer of mine. He was inquiring about the possibility of making a knife similar to the one he had just purchased from me. He said a friend of his had been admiring his knife and wanted to know if I could make him one too.. So, far this conversation was sounding like a no brainer.... Then he want on to ask if there was any way that I could use the shrapnal that the doctors took out of his friend's body, in the Damascus. Apparantly his friend had a not so friendly mortar explode and tear his lower body and legs to pieces while deployed at everyones favorite war... I told him that I had never attempted to use something like that in Damascus before and had no idea if I could even make it weld to the rest of the billet. He assured me that he understood and if it didn't work out then there was no problems.. The shrapnel was just sitting in a jar in a closet anyway.. A couple weeks later I received a package with a jar containing a piece of shrapnel just a bit smaller than a golf ball. I tried to figure out what I was going to do with it. Knowing full well that this was a one time shot.. If I screwed it up, there were no 2nd chances to make it work.. I decided to put the piece into the forge and try to forge it into a small square bar. The whole time it was in there I just prayed that it didn't burn up or melt, since I had no idea what this stuff was made out of.. I was assuming it was something like old smashed up Fords or Chevys or something... God was kind enough to let that part sorta work out. But when I was done, there wasn't really that much to work with. I mean it was a huge chunk of steel to have thrust into the human body.. But, not much in the whole scheme of a Damascus billet. I wanted the shrapnel to be readily recognizable within the knife blade. I wanted to be able to point to it and say, "this is the shrapnel from your legs, right here!!!". So, I put the bar of shrapnel into a can and encapsulated it in powdered tool steel and nickel. I then forged that into a bigger bar that would work into the overall scheme of the Damascus pattern I was trying to develop. I wanted the Damascus pattern to look like an exploding piece of steel, with the shrapnel as the center piece. So, I built a bar of W's and re squared the shrapnel into the corner of the bar. I then 4 wayed the bar and re welded it all back together. I accordion cut the bar and ended up with just enough steel to build the knife blade and bolsters. I finished off the handles with camo green G-10, titanium liners and a Damascus back spacer. I did a lot of praying while I built this knife.. I prayed that I wouldn't screw it up.. I prayed for the man that I was building it for... I prayed for all the fine men and women who have had their lives so drastically changed keeping me and my family safe... I have to say that finishing this knife was probably one of the proudest moments of my 10 years of knife making.. And, that I feel so honored to be able to give this knife to such a fine man. Simple words of gratitude can never express the thanks that we owe to so many unselfish people who assure that we can wake up every day living in freedom!!!</image:caption>
