Bocote Knife Blank

These rhombic Laurin Metalli blades are really unique and a nice way to build up a different style puukko for yourself, your friends, or customers.

A beautifully crafted and delicate piece, well balanced and easy to wear.

I used this little gem with the Lauri 62 blade to manufacture an antler knife. Dressed her up nicely. Can't beat the price for this ornamental, practical piece. What are you waiting for??

Forge has got it going on. Just crafted another antler knife using the Lauri Carving 62 carbon steel blade. Quality blade that holds its edge and looks great with the ricasso. Try it.You'll like it!

I recently purchased a "Practical Leatherwork" book from the Forge. Great tips for the aspiring leathersmith from soup to nuts. Good deal for a good price.

I purchased this knife as a gift to my daughter for her rite of passage ceremony. It's so beautiful and perfect for her. I'm looking forward to hear how she likes it when she gets back from her wilderness outing she's on now. Thank you!

Love it

Super stoked

I bought this sheath based on dimensions alone, very glad for the exact measurements.
It fits my Toor Krypteia-S perfectly.
I wanted a leather sheath for my pistol belt.
The leather is flawless and well sewn.
It was wet fit, dried and reconditioned nicely.
I really like the fit of this sheath for my favorite blade, very safe carry.

I really like this knife. Cuts very well, looks great & isn’t flimsy feeling at all. I have a feeling this’ll be replacing my old Buck Pathfinder as my fishing/cooking knife whenever I head toward the ocean. Great service from Redbeard too!

Everything came together just great with this knife. The blade is short but feels fantastic, the handle is so attractive with the African Ebony and Buckeye burl combination, and finally the sheath is one of the nicest I've seen. Hat's off to Jesse for this work of art.

I am new to knife making, but find the quality and service at ragweed to be top notch. The blade I purchased seems to be well made. Couldn’t be happier with the end result. Ipe handle with Paduak inlay.

This is really beautiful and I Treasure It! Thank you!!!

Beautiful knife, razor sharp as received. Well balanced. Pleasure to use.

Striking gray full grip handle with a beautiful spacer accent and a truly gorgeous brass finger guard. Nicely balanced and with a comfortable and secure grip. Looking at it, you'd expect it to be a bit heavy, but it isn't at all. Sharp as can be on arrival. Edge holding, I'm not sure yet. Haven't had to sharpen it. Very unique looking. Beautiful secure sheath.
