Railroad Spike Knives

Making knives is my livelihood and profession. It is in my blood and my soul. I made my first knife, out of a railroad spike, back in 2004 or 2005. Here are some of the knives produced in my small shop just within in the last month. We are now producing a few thousand knives per year, all forged and ground by hand. Thank you for looking. -AA
