Wisakedjak the Cree called em, a shape shifting trickster in Indigenous folklore. They live up to their reputation... so a serendipitous meeting of the Horny Monster and the Whiskey Jack. I always carry my Horny Monster with the 2040 bands. It's just fun to photograph, opens bottles, and is a Totem to mischief making, which indeed keeps us young, IMHO. . . . #outdoors #publicland #backpacking #mthood #slingshot #hornymonster #birding #oregon #wilderness #catapult

This was a long needed reunion with the apprentice @bensonblades Will came up with a list of different items they had been dreaming of making. I had never heard or read the words Kasarigama. When I looked it up, my knee jerk reaction was total dismissal of it being practical at all. Alas, after seeing that it was made for over 400 years, I dove deeper, finding that it was actually really effective at defeating swords. Wow, the skill one would need to acquire would be so impressive! Anywho, it brought together so many fun new elements it was an easy decision! #artisticjourney #artisticcommunity #creativecollab #artcollaboration #artistoninstagram #creativeprocess #kasarigama

Where there's a Will, there's a way! I'm fortunate enough to have the apprentice Will Benson @bensonblades back in my shop for a little visit. We have both been struggling with health and bad creator's block when it comes to being on social media, and the knife making... So we have come together to make something happen. Its been almost two years since they had to leave and move back to New Mexico for health related issues. So this is V exciting for us! After our likely very silly crazy project, I'll be finishing up a very overdue custom #Megasong. #ArtCollaboration #ArtistOnInstagram #ArtLovers #ArtisticCommunity #CreativeCollab #CollectiveArt #VisualArt #ArtisticJourney #ArtisticExpression #CreativeProcess

Here’s the newest addition to my @ooakforge family, the Dryad. absolutely stunning work by @ashley.anodized.it , the handles look and feel exactly like wood and the blade transports you into a mystical forest just looking at it. These models are all aluminum, a little shorter, and while there is a sharp edge it’s not easy to be cut by it, so we consider these to be trainers. These did draw blood at bladeshow, but you’re unlikely to lose a finger from one. . . . . . #balisong #megasong #balisword #butterflyknife #ooakforge #handmade #anodizing #anodizedaluminum

'Za Demon' Wow, what a labor of love this piece was. I've decided to auction this on Instagram during @blade_show . Auction will begin on June 2 and end June 4th at 12 pm Eastern. I'd like to submit it to the Juried exhibition at Blade and show it off as much as possible. I know y'all chomping for more Slayers, and I hear ya. I've been working on a lot of non knife prop work like a giant as football for the NFL. That being said, I am so stoked to be concentrating on my Bali project with @jk__design , pizza related items, and ideally more passion driven projects like this beast. Deets: •.375" Thick Naval Bronze frame was carved by hand as were the pure Titanium handle slabs. •Blade is .125" thick AEB-L 62.5 cryo treated with a full convex grind. •5 layers of acid etching reveal the demon rotary blade that runs on open ss ball bearings. •The stand is a tongue hand sculpted from 100 year old Maple harvested from a Portland City park. •Weight is chonk. #allhailza #pizzaslayer #pizza #pizzalover #za #fashion #photooftheday #pizzacutter #cheflife #chefknife #knife #customknife #bladeshow2023 #knifeauction

Sometimes, I swear between pulling material out and completion is like being possessed. Turn a week or more worth of work into a flash. Probs gonna auction this beast unless I take it to @blade_show Share, comment, post to your stories please and Thank You. Could use that push back into the algorithm. . . . #pizzaslayer #pizza #pizzacutter #knife #customknife #knifemaker #metalsculpture #metal #demon #brass #titanium #pizzalover #chef #cheflife #chefknife #bladeshow2023
