Delbert Ealy is a
full time maker of knives, Damascus and finished
blades. His knifemaking career started in 1986. Six
months later, he saw his first damascus steel blade,
which encouraged him to start making his own. He
started out making damascus steel by hand with a coal
forge; by 1998 he had a gas forge and a 30-ton hydraulic
press and began making damascus steel for sale. He
currently offers 19 different patterns, and adds several
new patterns every year. His damascus steel consists of
mostly 01 - L6 and pure nickel.
In addition to knives
and damascus, Mr. Ealy also produces beautiful mokume
gane wedding bands and accent rings, and has been known
to occasionally produce handmade damascus spoons, fish
tongs and other kitchen-related implements.
Mr. Ealy lives in
Indian River, Michigan with his wife and four girls.

Welcome. I’m Lloyd R.
Harner, III but, everyone calls me “Butch”. I’m the
sole proprietor of Harner Knives and I wanted to share
with you a little bit more about myself and how I began
making knives.
I was born in 1978 and
raised near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in the small town
of Littlestown. Most of my childhood days were spent
taking things apart. My mom always hoped that one day I
would learn how to put them back together. Eventually I
did and maybe that is part of what brings me to where
I’m at today.
After graduating
Littlestown
High School in 1996, I was
off to the Marine Corp. This is where I learned a lot
of life lessons and traveled all over the world. This
is also where I began my passion for knives and started
a small collection.
In 2000, I returned
home and began working for my father. My desire to
have higher performance knives grew but, I couldn’t
afford the price tag to go with them. I began learning
about custom knives and knife making then attempted to
make my own. It couldn’t be that hard right? Using a
Dremel style tool and sandpaper, I made my first knife.
It wasn’t exactly what I wanted but, I did it. I kept
working at it and experimenting with different
techniques. Eventually buying more tools and practicing
with different shapes and styles. In 2006, I decided to
take the big leap and start my own business Harner
Knives. I began making custom knives full time. I
specialize in kitchen knives and straight razors but, I
don’t think there is anything that I can’t make. I’ve
made all sorts of kitchen knives, Japanese style knives,
straight razors, folders, k-bars, neckers, butterfly
knives, a tuna sword, a dive knife and I even made a
special pendant out of Mokume Gane for my fiancé. I
certainly love a challenge and push myself to improve
and grow in all aspects of my life.
In 2010, I
met my lovely fiancé and her two wonderful children. My
family means the world to me and I spend as much time
with them as I can. When I’m not making sharp objects I
enjoy hiking, bike riding, pottery and my addiction of
photography.
A new workshop is planned, allowing more space for
better work flow. Thank you for taking the time to
learn a little more about me and visit my website

the knife world. His passion and excitement for the

Most
of the knives I make are customs… meaning that the
customer has contacted me and, together we choose the
different materials and styles of knife. This is a very
cool way to get a new knife! I mean, think about it…
YOU get to, pick the style of knife and also get to

Hand Crafted Custom Knives /// by Pierre Rodrigue ///
Cable Damascus Sanmai Carbon Steel /// Rare Handle
Materials
Mr.
Rodrigue successfully completed a course in construction
surveying in Springdale in 1991. With work not being as
plentiful as he would like, he relocated to Surrey,
British Columbia, in 1992 and worked for three years
within the surveying field. Next stop on his career
move was a two year stint with Loomis Armored Car.
Finally he found his niche and returned to surveying in
the area of Lloydminster, AB, in 1997 and is still there
plying his trade.
But being an avid
hunter and dealing with dull knives sparked an idea that
would lead him down another career path. “As far
as the knives go, the first one I did was to see if I
could make something better than what I had been using,”
he said. “I did some research, and asked a lot of
questions, finally finding a person who is now a friend,
and who also makes knives. “I got a piece of steel
from him, and designed, constructed my first knife
blade, after the heat treating process, attached a
handle, made a sheath, and put it to use that fall.”
After making his
first knife, word started to spread quickly amongst his
co-workers. “I made maybe 15 in the first year. I had
no idea the world of custom knives even existed,” he
said. “As a hobby, this was OK, but I wanted more. I
had a website…I did a few pieces, and started to
concentrate on custom designs.” Mr. Rodrigue went on to
learn different aspects of knife making from makers such
as Ed Storch, Brian Lyttle, and other western Canadian
knife makers, a new fascination in the finer art of
Damascus and other finishes continues to inspire him.
Today Mr. Rodrigue
handcrafts custom knives for people who want something
truly original. Rodrigue Knives are entirely
handcrafted from forged high carbon steel cable,
damascus patterns, sanmai finish. Burls or exotic
woods, Carbon Fiber or Micarta, mammoth ivory or mammoth
tooth, elk antler and buffalo horn, handle materials.
Mr. Rodrigue is well known for his hunting, fillet,
skinning, pocket, tactical, large folders, high end
gentlemen's folders, and all types of kitchen knives —
in both western and Japanese styles. He has also begun
restoring and rehandling vintage carving knives.

Andrei "Marko" Tsourkan has been
passionate about knives and cooking all his life. In 2007 he
started collecting high-performance kitchen knives made by
Japanese artisans because they cut better than any knife he had
used before. But he soon discovered there was a room for
improvement and began tweaking and customizing them. He began
fabricating beautiful and elegant replacement handles and
hand-carved wood sayas, and thinning and hand sharpening the
blades.
In October 2010 he spent two days with
famed kitchen knife and Damascus maker Devin Thomas, and began
to learn the craft of knifemaking. The following month he
started assembling his own workshop, and spent the following
year improving his grinding and heat treating, and began
offering knives for sale.
His knives have been influenced and
inspired by work of Japanese and US craftsmen including Devin
Thomas, Tokifusa Iizuka
(Shigefusa), Bill Burke, Bob Kramer and others. He strives
to find a balance between aesthetic and utilitarian, and his
knives are tools made to perform and to withstand rigors of
professional kitchen.
In addition to knives, handles and sayas, he is also making
magnetic wood strips and cutting boards, and is in the process
of refining custom leather knife sheaths.

Steve Goodson’s
interest in leather work began several years ago as a
hobby. After a 25-year career of selling
cardiovascular surgical products, he realized that
working with his hands to produce an item of use or
beauty that would be a lasting treasure filled a void of
gratification yet to be experienced in pursuing his
career.
Years of woodworking
gave him engineering ability and creativity that easily
transferred to leather work design and implementation.
Initially, small projects such as leather knife sheaths
and book covers were goal-worthy, but it then progressed
to gun holsters, tooling, and mastering more intricate
detailed work. In the course of making restaurant
menu covers, a chef requested a design for a leather
knife roll. After several prototypes, Mr. Goodson
developed a product that satisfied both the chef and met
his own standards.
Marketing these
unique, handcrafted knife rolls has proved to be
satisfying. Mr. Goodson is always in contact with
interesting people from all parts of the world who are
pleased to have found this innovative product that will
not only protect their valued tools, but will also
enhance their individual style and ease in developing
their flare as culinary artists as well.
It is with great
pride and satisfaction that he can testify that the
quality of each chef knife roll is crafted with only the
best materials available, made to meet the specific
needs of every customer, and have all been well accepted
and cherished by each recipient.
