Knives and Hatchets

While researching axes I came across an intriguing story that I though I would share on KNIVES AND HATCHETS. That story is about Peter Buchanan-Smith and the axe company he founded in 2009 known as Best Made Co. (BMC). Peter had a vision to make an extraordinary axe that could work magnificently in the woods and be beautifully displayed in your man-cave. His axes came with artistic and vibrant painted handles and axe heads stamped with BMC on one side and USA on the other.

"Devil's Toe Nail" | Rustic Handmade Rail Spike Knife

I had an old rail spike laying around and decided to forge it in fire and hammer out a knife. I had no particular design in mind until a few hammer strikes in. The blade is about 3 inches in length with a pointy spike on the opposite end. I wanted to keep it rustic and left some forge scale and tool markings. Can be used as a tool or for defense.

Cool gift. Availability and Pricing Handmade in the USA.
