These knives are forged from "HC" grade RR spikes and are PROPERLY heat treated to get a decent cutting edge. No two are exactly alike..they are shaped the way they come off of the anvil. I admit that I make these a bit differently than most other makers out there. I forge these to NOT feel "dead in the hand" or to be "butt heavy" and cumbersome. These are fully hand forged and distally tapered and PROPERLY heat treated. (For more information on how these are made..please go to my article pages..I have a article explaining how I forge these out. ) These are very tough knives indeed as well as being unique!
PLEASE: Be aware that these little guys are EXTREMELY SHARP !! These knives WANT to cut!!
<<PLEASE NOTE: The blades below do NOT come with a sheath..)
The blades we have in stock currently are:
Blades are hand forged from HC marked RR spikes. This material is vey similar to 1045 which has a minimal amount of carbon just barely enough t harden somewhat, however we have develouped a thermal treatment that allows us to get a decent edge on these.

These throwing axes are hand forged from soft iron/mild steel for the eye/poll with a medium carbon steel (either 1060/70 or 5160..) edge inserts. All are slow browned and ready to go.
We use the "standard tomahawk" handle that is available from most re-enactment suppliers. However due to the hand forging some minor fitting of the handle may be required but this only takes a few minutes. All handles are hand rubbed with an oil finish and are very comfortable in the hand. I sell a whole lot of these and they just "work like they are supposed to".. These are simply just great axes...

NOTE: I am at the end of my series. I have 2 numbers left to fill and to be honest I am in no hurry to fill them due to "burn out" on doing so many. They will be filled but I will work on them every so often. So keep a look out and see..Once these are gone that is it for the series.
These swords are hand forged using only the finest steel and iron. all are hand made. The Samegawa is imported so are the other materials I use like the Tsuka-Ito, Kashirae and other parts . These are gorgeous swords. They are EXTREMELY SHARP and proper care must be taken when handling these blades.
NOTE: There are no numbers remaining. However, I am currently finishing up several more prototype/example pieces for book IV. I will be posting these as they are available.. I will be posting an update on my main page when they are near completion and again once they are complete and listed. So please check back often.. THANK YOU ~~~JPH~~~
Please Note: I say again: The numbered series is now completed and there are no more pieces available in this series.; However, I still have a few book IV pieces that I am making for the Japanese Blade sections of that book. These will be available for sale as they are finished and photographed and they will be signed as book IV pieces on the nakago.
These pieces will include Katana, Chisa Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto and a few Naginata ( the nagi's will be available as blades only!) so please check back to see what was added. THANK YOU ALL for the support of this series. I greatly appreciate it!!
Items in Stock:
