Shaw Custom Knives

Custom order friction folder. Pop's ProCut, mild steel and G10. Snake spine and forged scrolls.

Super light Cowboy or Cowgirl. 52100 a high carbon steel, ash, turquoise and leather. Custom belt sheath with copper medallion.

Finally got a little shop time. 80CrV2, aged with toasted and hand decorated ash and textured brass pins. Custom leather sheath with vertical horizontal carry options.

OK, got sidetracked and a gentleman asked me to make him a primitive so this is after heat treat. Will finish this up in a couple days then make a couple sheaths for this one and the other ones I was fiddling with.

Turning scrap into something useful. Let's see what comes out the other side...

Medieval styled friction folder but using modern materials. 80CrV2 with mild steel furniture, micarta and bronze pins with decorative scroll work and Arrowhead file work on the spine and spacer. Was able to get this finished up despite the snow, ice and cold. I don't know if I want to sell it or not... I like it.

Been too busy lately. Super lightweight hunter. Pop's Procut, brass, birch bark and mesquite with custom leather sheath. Hollow grind... Nice little knife.
Y'all stay warm!

Every time I travel, I like to pick up some history and translate that to my own heritage and personality. In this case, Scotland. Land of many of my ancestors and home to Clan Shaw. The Nice thing about being a knife maker is being able to make something for myself for Christmas. Here I've made myself a Sgian Dubh and a proper Dirk. The Sgian Dubh is made with Pop's Procut and the Dirk is 80CrV2. Hand carved hardwood handles with a Celtic knot and custom leather sheaths. Yes, that is the Shaw Clan tartan. Merry Christmas to me and to all of you!

Qu**ky project / Christmas presents for my dad and brother. Those are some of the best pliers I've ever used. Surprisingly useful! Just needed a way to tote them around where they will be handy and easy to keep up with. Added a little slot for an inspection light that is always useful and can be stuck on the brim of your cap. Made myself one as well but it has two slots for small pliers.

Peasant Knife. 80CrV2, integrated, decorative finger guard toasted Mesquite handle with burned in design. Custom leather sheath. Finally had a little time to get back in the shop.

Wilderness skinner. 80CrV2 , aged patina, full flat grind with Narra Wood and hand carved white tail antler, hand hammered copper cap and copper pinned tail cap. Custom leather.

Custom order patch knife for a mountain man. 52100 1/16 thick with jimping and Spanish notch. White tail antler, copper cap rawhide and custom design engraving (provided by customer). Adjustable neck pouch.
