absolutely unique handcraft

It's The Sharp Show time! Coventry Connexion, Ryton on Dunsmore, 27 September 2025 from 10am. Here is the website to buy tickets and get more information:


https://www.thesharpshow.com/about-the-show


You can view my work in more detail on some of my social media accounts and please send me a message on there if you are interested but but I cannot easily sell through those apart from Edgematters 

edgematters.uk (you can join for a nominal yearly fee)

and Bladeforums

bladeforums.com


. For purchase opportunities and availability of new knives, the website email list will be the place to get subscribed, just send an email to register,  as I'll post any available knives on the mail list first. These days I always post new knives there first anyway. This is because some platforms are essentially shadow banning my content and eroding my exposure. I hope you understand and I am very grateful for all your support.


If you reply to a mail-out claiming a knife, please be prepared to pay (with Paypal usually, so you are protected against loss in transit) straightaway on confirmation of age 18 years or above ONLY please. I will go down the list by timed responses if the original buy falls through or takes too long to complete (more than 2 hours). This is out of respect of others that may be interested, thanks! I wish I had more knives to offer to help with this issue but usually I don't as they are one-off builds.


As per the UK law I will need proof of age of 18 or above, drivers license or passport (that will stand up in court) sorry about the hassle again, not my law, but I don't fancy any legal issues here! If this is something you don't want to do, I am unable to supply you with a knife over the internet. There may be other ways to verify age for UK buyers such as a pick-up, third party verification, someone we both know etc. all agreed on a case by case basis, before you buy.


If you don't like the knife then send it back, if I get it in original condition I will refund the full purchase amount and the shipping back to me, unless there are large cost incurred by me, hopefully you'll understand that would be the case for discussion and agreement. I certainly do not want to sell you a knife you don't want or like. UK post will normally never be an issue, I'll refund you in full, if needed. Never happened so far, let's keep it that way by making sure you like the knife you want! I have met people at my workshop as well if they want to view knives that is a standing invitation, also a good way for all to have more confidence in the transaction. Although, getting a new knife in the post has a certain bit of excitement to it.


Thank you so much, Ig

The colour of this Cerakote is Rose Gold and I love it. Also, the Damasteel blade is one of the rarer one, from a good friend and even better knife maker himself, Geoff Hague. Detent folder fit for the UK carry market'

The first one with the secondary 'special' mark, due to RWL34 lock bar and meteorite imitation carbon fibre I made.

    Due to some social media rules that do not allow the sale of knives, even UK pocket carry legal folders, I am going to direct any interest in sales through this website whenever possible. I promise I will not, and do not have any interest in passing on any information you submit. It will only be used, stored and accessed in relation to my knives. This includes me informing you via email of available knives. You probably need to confirm the sign-up in your email with a response. The site is secure. Thank you for your interest and patience, Ig
