Before you order: 

Originally called the Ammo Daddy (everybody needs one), this knife was designed after I asked an experienced hunting guide and friend, "What would you want in a good do it all camp knife?" 

The Ammo Daddy Bravo is a slimmed down version of the ADA. It retains the thickness, overall length and blade length, but is only 1 1/2" wide in order to save weight and space on a belt, pack or Load Bearing System.

The name is a Far Side Reference and the knife is a variation of the ADB. Originally requested by a national security professional for daily use.  

The original Sharp Thing was my first attempt at knife design. This is where I came to the conclusion that "Simple Works!" The first iteration had a recurved edge, a sub hilt and a bottle opener on the butt. After eliminating the bottle opener, a close friend contacted a journeyman knife maker and had a couple of these made. Unfortunately or fortunately, the results were not to specification and I decided to try my hand at knife making. The current  version (MK II, Mod 5) has what it really needs and nothing it doesn't.

The Bush Thing is the same pattern as the Sharp Thing, but starts with 1/8" stock, and has a different texture on the scales that's a bit more friendly when doing "bush crafty stuff."

Blue Tero-Tuf scales makes it easier to find if it falls of the log/rock you set it on.

The SST was developed at the behest of a local L.E.O. He liked the overall length and thickness of the Sharp Thing, but wanted something that would use less space on his belt or vest, and would fit in a boot. The SST has a faceted grind (hollow on long cutting edge and flat at the tip) to ensure good cutting geometry and overall strength.

The OSK (Oh S.. Knife) was originally designed for some gents in a local military unit as a double edged "last option." The current model is the civilian version which is single edged and can also be made without scales for those desiring a lower profile.

The Ohana is indeed the family knife. The first one I made was built to survive serious kitchen abuse. The current iteration is the result of improvements in my knife making skills combined with my enthusiasm for cooking. It has enough of a point for finer work and the angled spine was added for scraping food directly into a pan or pot while protecting the edge and keeping your knuckles off the cutting board. I strongly suggest a pastry scraper/knife for scooping.
