Up-cycling and re-purposing quality carbon steels.

Carbon saw blade steel from the lumber mills, an excellent steel to handcraft survival knives and woodcarving tools. Our steel comes from the industry harvesting the boreal forest.

You can make your own knife from carbon steel using an article we wrote for the Canadian Woodworking and Home Improvement Magazine on how to make your own carving knives. It is detailed and concise. https://canadianwoodworking.com/project/traditional-hook-knife-2/
