Ken WolfeMy name is Ken Wolfe and I'm a Knifemaker who uses Art, Engraving and Sculpting in my Knifemaking. I've been making Handmade Custom Knives/Knife with Special Carving or Engraving for about 20 years. I create One of A Kind Working Knives as well as a Collectable Knife using ATS-34 & 440C Stainless Steels, 10XX Series, L6 Carbon Tool Steels and USA Damascus.
Handle Materials are usually ( Stabilized ) Exotic Burlwoods, Antler, Bone, Ivory and some Man made Materials such as Micarta's and G-11.
All the Custom Handmade Knives in MY GALLERY are done completely by me in my shop in the Northern Sierras. They are Hand Hammer Forged or Stock Removal. They are made with basic tools like, Belt Grinders, Drills, Files. Some Makers have gone to making their custom knives faster with state of the art machinery like profiling with Water Jet or Plasma Cutters and using Mills and CNC and such to increase production and reduce costs. I'm not into production and still make a Handmade Knife/Knives one at a time. I'm not interested in making Production Knives.

My shop is next to Our Home in the Northern Sierras, right off Interstate 80, among the pines and cedars on your way to Reno or North Lake Tahoe from Sacramento. It's a beautiful place to work and create. Our little town is called Alta, which is very near where the mules and rescuers left to rescue the Donner Party near Donner Lake. About 2000 people live here in Alta and it's 30 miles to the closest Red Light.

My interest in Custom Handmade Knives began more than 20 years ago while Engraving and Carving on someone elses knife. I wanted a blade ground so that the engraving that I do on the blade would show a little better than the usual hollow ground blade and also keep a Strong Sharp Edge. A good Knifemaking friend and Mentor taught me how to make a great Convex Ground blade in the style of Bill Moran and Ed Fowler. I do Mostly Convex and some Flat Grinds. That friend and Mentor is Knifemaker Jim Sigg of Sigma Knives. See My Link Page.

Sorry to say Bill Moran has Passed On. He will be sorely missed, but will be always remembered for his many contributions to the Knife World.

Be Sure and See our KATANA SWORD PAGES with our Contemporary Japanese Katanas of Damascus Steel or 9260 Mono Carbon Steel. (Link Above and below)

We also Teach Carving & Engraving here at our shop, using the same Ultra High Speed Equipment that I have been using for close to 20 years. I can help you find an Ultra-Hi Speed System, but I no longer sell them. If you're interested in Learning to Carve or Engrave with this System or want to hear more about it, just Email me here! with any questions.

A Photo of an Engraving/Carving System is shown at the bottom of this page.

   
   

I enjoy Carving/Engraving my favorite Animals: Wolves, Eagles, Buffalo, Elk; and also Deer and Bear. You'll find them here on Knives, Gunstocks, Antler Belt Buckles, Bolo Ties and Custom Walking Sticks/Staffs .

Most of my knives are one of a kind and don't hang around here very long, so Knives are not always available for immediate delivery. I'm pretty busy making "specially ordered" knives and rarely have knives in stock. I'm also a little slow. You may Special Order a Knife with or without Engraving.

You may Special Order anything that you see in My Gallery, with a choice of steel and Handle Material if possible. L6 Carbon Steel, 5160, 10XX series Carbon, USA Damascus, ATS-34 and 440C Stainless. 
 
 

 
    We Custom Engrave any Knife or Sword we make, or even others.   Personalize Yours or Order a Specially Engraved Knife for that special Person!

I like recycling good Carbon Steel for some of my knives, so I sometimes use worn out Ferriers (Horseshoers) Rasps, Large Circular Sawblades (perhaps L6), Auto Springs ( perhaps 5160 ) and Railroad Spikes. We have recently added forged blades along with our stock removal blades, so you may Special Order either. Handle material can be Antler, Bone, Ivory, Exotic Woods or manmade materials such as Mycarta's and G11. My Knives can be hand carved, Engraved or have Scrimshaw. I make Skinners, Hunters, Daggers, Tactical Knives, Filet, (Fillet) Knives and Katana Swords.

    Knifemaking Classes

We teach a Basic Knifemaking Class using the Stock Removal Method using Carbon Steel. You will complete a nice drop point skinner knife with your choice of "in stock" handle material to take home and show off. If time allows we work on a second knife.

Classes are held here in Alta, California, an hour or so to Lake Tahoe . Usually one on one classes. Knifemaking Classes are usually a 2 day minimum (8 hours each) and are $175.00 per day which includes materials for one knife and lunches both days.
