Welcome to Iron Traditions

Thank you for visiting Iron Traditions!  I have enjoyed making quality custom forged knives since 1983.  The blades are generaly forged from such carbon steels as 5160,1080,1084 and 1095.  The fittings are made from mild steel, nickle silver, brass or copper.  The Handle matrials I use range from exotic and American hardwoods to bone, stag and synthetics,  I also fabricate the sheaths. All parts of the knives are fabricated from raw materials in my shop by myself.  Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions please feel free to drop me a E-Mail or give me a call.
