The knives


We believe that fine knives should be a reflection of who you are, and they are something special to be appreciated and transmitted from one generation to another. We also believe that they must be built to be used day after day in difficult hunting conditions, no matter how pleasant they may seem. M.G. The handmade damascus hunting knives are built according to these standards. Our knives have the reputation of being "overbuilt," and that's fine with us.

Our knives were originally designed with the African Professional Hunter in mind. The PH, as they are known, live and breathe hunting day after day. They hunt the most difficult animals on earth in exceptionally remote locations. They like equipment that is functional, and often beautiful. Like a good double rifle made to measure by an English manufacturer, or a Damascus1 knife. Pursuing hard animals on steep terrain, where the nearest store is an airplane away, is no place for a careless knife. So yes, we have a tendency to over build.
Our knives are used by hunters, sportsmen and knife enthusiasts. Most are used well, while others end up in collections. We, of course, prefer that you take the nice personalized walnut box with which your Damascus1 knife came in and used it as a support for your change or jewelry, and then you put your knife in your hunting package and take it to all the adventures. Some of our clients prefer our more ornate knives, while others want simple ones. Some have an ornate knife and then one that they carry on each trip to the forest. Some customers ask us to build knives for their kitchens after experiencing them in the field.
Whether you're hunting whitetails on your back, forty moose and mules in the west, moose in Alaska, Cape buffalo in the Caprivi Strip of Namibia, wild boar in Europe or red deer in New Zealand, your Damascus1 knife will be a companion as well. Good ready to serve wherever you take it next.
Knife models
We currently make a variety of models of fixed knife blades and a limited number of folders. We have all made my hand here at our office in Ellington, Connecticut.

Usually, we try to store some knives of each model at a given time that gives you a good idea of ​​the different options. You can certainly buy one online, or contact us to make one to your specifications.
Our knives have traditionally been named in honor of animals. Given the lineage of our knives, all the originals were named after the African game.
The knife you choose should reflect your wishes and, therefore, we offer you many options. We offer different steels, as well as a variety of different handling materials. We can also make the knife unique with several types of handmade file work. If you want your name or initials on the blade, we can certainly do that too. Knife reinforcements and pommels can be hand-engraved with elegant scroll work, or perhaps something more unique like your favorite game animals.
If you want something even more unique, just give us a call and we can make the knife fit your specifications. Maybe you have a design of your own in mind. Just give us a call and we will be happy to talk about the possibilities of turning your dream into reality.
Fixed blade against folding knife? Since all our knives come from a hunting lineage, they are designed to face difficult conditions. This requires a fixed blade knife. Our fixed knife blades are made from a single piece of solid steel that runs the entire length of the blade. And generally we use steel for very thick knives and very high quality. No folding knife can match this type of performance.
Folding knives have their place of safety. I carry one every day. They are lightweight and fit easily in a pocket. It's what I wear when I'm not hunting. It's good for extremes. Cut the rope when necessary, solve a minor first aid problem or help the children open their gifts on Christmas morning. M.G. Damascus1 will offer folding knives to the general public at the end of 2018, but do not confuse their capabilities with those of our fixed knife knives. Both are good, but for the intended purposes.

Quandaries with handmade damascus folding knives, rating systems and business practices.

In the mid-1980s, when Damascus was making its first appearance in knife shows. I met two well-known Smith masters who promoted their "steel and secret techniques" that made their steel special. It turned out that his steel and / or his techniques were far from special. I warn you to be suspicious of any manufacturer of fake knives that use the word "secret". Manufacturers of forged blades do an excellent job of sharing their knowledge with their colleagues. In addition, there are other hammer schools and INS throughout the United States that allow knowledge of the forged blade to pass from manufacturer to manufacturer. While ABS has excellent guidelines and testing procedures that manufacturers must meet to have their knives pass the tests to get their JS or MS seal. This does not mean that each blade armor will maintain that high standard set for its test blades. Nowadays, you will find that some manufacturers with a JS seal are better than some of the man...
