The Gippsland Bowie!
I’m proud to say it has officially headed off to its new home last weekend at the 2026 Melbourne Knife Show!

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces at the Kensington Town Hall. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the table to talk shop, and an even bigger thanks to those who took home a piece of my work.

While this one is SOLD, it was a pleasure to show it off in person. If you missed out at the show, I’m always taking on custom orders—feel free to shoot me a DM to discuss your next build!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the 2026 Melbourne Knife Show! It was an incredible weekend, and I’m so grateful to everyone who stopped by the table to chat or purchased a new piece.
A special thank you to for all her incredible help and support, I couldn’t have done it without you.
Hope to see you all again next year! 🇦🇺

Farmer’s Lockback!
This folder is built for serious work with a classic look.

Blade details:

• Scales: The handle features Brown Mallee Burl a dense Australian hardwood.

• Blade Steel: Running a tough, corrosion-resistant Nitro-V Stainless Steel blade (2.78”) with a clean Flat Grind to hold a great edge and handle any task.

• Other Details: The bolsters and frame are made from 416 Stainless for robust strength. I paid extra attention to the details here, the bolsters are dovetailed.

• Carry Specs: It’s compact and solid, weighing in at 6.0 ozs. with a closed length of just 3.38”—a perfect workhorse for the pocket.

This particular piece has already found its home. Thank you all for your continued support!

Another shot of the Explorer Plus utility knife, which found its happy new owner at the Melbourne Knife Show!
This piece isn’t just about the blade—it’s about the whole package. This hybrid sheath features a leather combined with Kydex to give you the classic aesthetic and feel of leather with the secure, maintenance-free retention of Kydex. The ultimate carry solution for a lifetime utility knife!

Knife Specs Recap:
• Overall Length: 9.5-inch general utility piece.
• Blade: 5” Nitro-V Stainless Steel.
• Handle: Highly figured Stabilised Myrtle with polished 410 Stainless Steel bolsters and pins.

This exact knife is SOLD, but I am always drafting new designs and taking on future custom commissions. If you’re looking for a similar custom utility knife with a sheath like this, please send me a Direct Message!
