Here is a blade I just finished, a 4 bar twist composite pattern welded seax, 1084 and 15N20 welded in 5 layers,then drawn out, cut into 4 pieces, twisted, re stacked and welded again. This style of patternwelding is native to northern Europe, used historically by Viking smiths. Posted by Jens Butler at 9:59 AM.

California Custom Knives: A Recreation of a Classic French Utility
http://californiacustomknives.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-recreation-of-classic-french-utility.html
Monday, September 8, 2014. A Recreation of a Classic French Utility. I am So Very excited about this project! This being the first knife in a series of recreations of classic French Cutlery. This whole idea started when I was lucky enough to purchase an older Sabatier utility knife dating from the early 1940's. I got it from a good friend who knows more about classic chef knives than anyone I have ever known. I have learned so much from him about French, German, Spanish and American Cutlery. So as a resu...

A blog of my personal experiences in Blacksmithing, Knifemaking, Wood Working, Photography, old tools and tool making as well as my random thoughts. Tuesday, January 02, 2007. This is a Knife I made for another knifemaker, every year I do atleast a few KITH drawings ( Knife In The Hat ) where several knifemakers make a knife, draw names and swap 'em. Making a knife for a knifemaker is always a good challenge I think it pushes me harder. Posted by Jens Butler at 2:24 PM. Posted by Jens Butler at 2:16 PM.

California Custom Knives: Introducing > The Bug-Out Camp Knife
http://californiacustomknives.blogspot.com/2015/02/introducing-bug-out-camp-knife.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. Introducing The Bug-Out Camp Knife. I have been thinking of some ideas for hybrid camp-chef knives lately. Since I have been playing with some Micarta as of late, I thought I would re-tool this stick tang camper that I made originally about 2-years ago. I re-worked the blade-style a bit and am happy with the results. Sharp as a razor and totally capable to prep foods with no problem. Basically looking very much like a chef knife, but with a bit more handle drop, and yet,.

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Two Tribal Frenchies in 52100 and Green Maple. These two came out really sweet! I was excited about getting some of the Maple I have had for a long time dyed and stabilized. Did I mention that I LOVE GREEN! And thought that the "Tribal Wrap" with the Translucent G10 would look pretty darn cool. The first handle I did out of the green I did not have the heart to cover any of it up as it was stunning. And I think it looks AWESOME! I hope you enjoy seeing these images. These littel Fr...
