Ellison Knives Blog

O-1 blade has about a 61 HRC and has been finished with 2400 series GunKote. Handle is G10 with stainless Torx.

Small work-in-progress kiridashi style blade with an asymmetrical grind and serrations.

Spine jimping for thumb traction and the non-beveled side of the blade is stamped “BERSERKR.”

I’m going through a lot of life changes at the moment. I changed jobs plus the wife is fixing to give birth during the first week of December. It is a boy which we have named Gunnar.

We are also in the process of preparing our home for sale and closing on almost 60 acres of undeveloped land in a different county, which we intend on homesteading (and homeschooling our kids in peace).

I will have to rebuild my shop — which means I won’t be making knives for a minute. In the meantime I will be focusing on what’s most important.

A work-in-progress knife made from .156 thick O-1 tool steel, it features a slight tanto tip profile with Micarta scales and stainless Torx fasteners. Blade has been blasted and finished with 2400 series matte gray GunKote.

Finished knife:

Combat knife in OD green, it features an asymmetrical .156 thick O-1 blade with 2400 series Gunkote finish, textured G10 scales and stainless Torx fasteners. OD green .080 Kydex sheath with tension adjustment screw and horizontal carry clip.

9″ OAL with 4″ blade, 6.3 oz. inside sheath.

Needle point and razor sharp, it serves only one purpose. Made in Harlan County, KY. Marked “BERSERKR” on bevel side.

The A2 stock is a little too long for my son and he is simply looking through the sights here, but the M16A4, or in this case the Colt AR-15A4, is hands down my go-to SHTF weapon.

I believe an ACOG is in the not-too-distant future.

Nice little tool for opening up the airway, it has a razor asymmetrical chisel grind with swedge and OD green G10 scales. I acid etched the O-1 blade and gave it a slight tumble finish. Jimping along the spine. She is stout at 3/16″ thickness. 61 HRC. Cutting edge is 4.5″ with a 10.5″ OAL.

Prior to blasting and coating, I always like to hand sand my blades to reduce any belt marks or deep scratches. While more time consuming, I find it gives me a much smoother finish in the end.

Work-in-progress AEB-L asymmetrical grind with a needle point and drilled tang to reduce weight. I have a few options for the handle: I could attach G10 scales, paracord it, or simply leave it skeletonized.

We are also out today playing with our good Swedish friend, grasshopper mouse.

I added a WordPress blog to my gallery page. I’ll try and add content as my schedule allows.
