BUILD YOUR BRAUER BLADE
I will work closely with you to meet your requirements in a few areas, such as dimensions, steel choice, handle material, sheath material, and draw.
However, I will not be taking orders of overly complex and elaborate fantasy blades. I will add more steels and handle materials as I conduct tests.
STEEL
I work with low-alloy steels that are more “easily” heat treated in a forge and are more consistent with traditional approaches. Rust is a product of using these simple, low-alloy steels and will occur on every steel listed below (organized by descending carbon content):
HANDLE MATERIALS
WOOD
I love woodworking and the feel of a wooden handle. Below are some woods I typically use:
MAPLE
My absolute favorite because it is some of the toughest wood I have ever worked with.
SYNTHETIC
I typically use synthetic handles for knives that I know will be used outdoors and exposed to moisture
KIRINITE
A synthetic polymer, it is an extremely resilient material that is appropriate for nearly any application. It also polishes beautifully and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns. This material is appropriate for heavy-use blades, especially outdoors.
SHEATH MATERIAL
Every knife needs a sheath.
Depending on your needs, below are the two materials I use:
LEATHER
Beautiful, tough, and a look and feel that are impossible to beat. Leather sheaths will typically be more expensive than Kydex due to the labor.
