Storms happen for a fact! Last night I returned from a road trip to find my neighborhood without power, trees and powerlines down, and blown transformers. Fortunately, no casualties that I've heard of. And I came to realize something,, I NEED a NEW axe!!! The one in the photo got a little heavy for someone recovering his strength after 15 months down. Might as well come up with an axe hatchet both! *** @borneinfire #preparedness #SHTF #SAR #axe #hatchet #disabledveteran #veteranowned #designer #mastermetalsmith (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJgISOgJ8V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17pl8wkddz3k6

Yes, sometimes we have to fabricate it bitty teeny tiny parts. LOL! Not so fun, but when you can restore a treasure for a valued friend, it is rewarding. **** @borneinfire #mastermetalsmith #disabledveteran #designer #veteranowned #madeintheusa (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company)

A sleek one off field service sized knife in the works. It is too soon to tell, but it may be far too nice to blast and coat. More work and another test etch to expose it's real beauty. *** @borneinfire #wip #customknives #designer #mastermetalsmith #hamon #disabledveteran (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoYEd1hc-Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=181o4jjlfr18u

Who loves ya! It has to be someone crazy enough to take a full work day to make four pairs of grips, grips in this case for MLBs. **** @borneinfire #crazyartist #mastermetalsmith #disabledveteran #designer #meanlittlebitchknife #madeintheusa (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHFIWRgF17/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tzm9dejfiwax

#hamon time! Can't touch this! Wildest lines ever! *** @borneinfire #wip #grailknife #hamon #differentialtemper #knifeporn #knifecommunity #mastermetalsmith #disabledveteran #madeintheusa (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company)

An incredible Ghost Edition of a Little Bastard for an awesome new customer. The multiple temper lines and hamon are created in a single piece of HR1095 through a unique claying formula and process developed over years and then brought out with hybrid hand polishing techniques based largely on work of the Japanese masters. The entire blade is then sealed in a Cerakote stain finish. The grips are high grade Cocobolo. Made in America by master metalsmith and veteran, Thomas Rice. Thanks for reading. If you want your own treasure, please DM to schedule a call. (Yes, unlike many today, we actually talk to our customers.) ***** #ghostedition #littlebastard #customdesign #customknives #knifecollectors #knifeporn #mastermetalsmith #disabledveteran #madeintheusa https://www.instagram.com/p/Brp_By6BIot/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=303xph8b20xx

A very special Little Bastard project underway. Multiple temper lines, multiple hamon. I've been working on techniques, with a focus towards a look of a Japanese ink wash depiction of flowing waters. I'm pretty happy with this work in progress. *** #mastermetalsmith #madeintheusa #hamon #differentialtemper #disabledveteran #designer #customknives #badassery https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVfr1_BZUk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hjn9wn9b26bv

This is for the few who understand that we will be remembered for what we do in life, not the showy crap, but what is at the heart of what we do, even after it is glossed over.

A special Little Bastard with a beautiful blue-black finish. Removable grips are Koa burle. Every blade is sharpened to 4,500 diamond grit then stropped to a level equal to any scalpel. ***** @borneinfire #grailknife #edcknives #mastermetalsmith #designer #madeintheusa #disabledveteran # (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfvQWJnzgQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18nssyanl3q6n

"Flowing Waters." Just a test etch to give you an idea of the hamons hiding under the scratches. **** @borneinfire #differentialtemper #hamon #knifecommunity #mastermetalsmith #disabledveteran #customknife #veteranowned #madeintheusa (at Born In Fire, Knife and Tool Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCoCnyhQ7Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p2zd5dt6k3fc
