About Me
My name is Dave Halpin, I'm employed full time in the metal working and industrial supply field. I'm also a full time Father of two boys, 11 and 15.
When time allows, I make knives. I don't have the time it takes to make large quantities, so I make one of a kind knives to the highest standard of quality I am capable of, and hope that eventually they will find an owner.
​
I start with raw steel and profile and grind all knives by hand, I heat treat all of my own knives to exact manufacturer specifications, using a professional quality knife kiln.
​
In many cases I make my own handle materials, such as pine cone in resin, or stabilized wood/resin hybrid scales. In other knives I prefer to use a synthetic material like G10 or Kirinite, both of which create a beautiful and durable handle, that will last the life of the knife as long as they are not abused.
​
Thank you for visiting.
