Grips, knives, cookies and whatever else I want to make.

About Me

 
 

I thank you for checking out my website and my Kreations. Please know I build what appeals to me and I build it on my schedule. I do not take orders for specific products because I don’t want anyone other than my wife pushing me to finish something in a time frame I cannot accommodate. I currently work in the Wyoming oilfield at 50+ hours a week and that schedule is very unpredictable. Sometimes it leaves me no time to get into the shop for days at a time which is why I do not take orders. I do this because I enjoy it and I hope in a few years when I retire from the oilfield I can turn this into my main focus. I do take requests if I feel I can do the job to my satisfaction and in a reasonable timeframe, follow the process on the contacts page, but understand it will get completed as I have time to do it and in the order it was received. If I feel the request is beyond my skill level or will take too long to accomplish within my time availability I will politely refuse the request. If what is here appeals to you enough to buy it I hope you have many years of good use of it and you enjoy it.

I build my grips to make your sidearm look good but be everyday useable. I do not checker, I feel it hides the wood and you do not want to pay for that time investment. Anyway the real grip pressure points on a sidearm are the front and back straps and grips do not add much grippy surface. If you must have checkering, go buy something made of G10. I like using non traditional woods because they are different but also enjoy using North American woods as they are under appreciated.

I do not have the capability to forge steel at this time although it is a goal. I currently buy knife blanks that interest me, check them for hardness, quality, edge and shape before using them as a basis for my knives.

All of my products are completely hand made, hand sanded and finished. I check the fit myself and most of my knives are checked for fit by my wife who is more picky than I am. If it does not feel good in your hand you will not want to use it and I want my knives and grips used. If I would not put the grips on my sidearm or a knife on my hip I will not sell them to you.

If you are in the Gillette, Wyoming area, I have items not shown here for sale at Rocky Mountain Discount Sports. They, and I, would appreciate your business.

If my products fail under reasonable usage I will do my best to replace them with another as close as possible to the original or I will make a refund based on the situation. Remember that each piece of wood is unique and cannot be duplicated. I will not accept any responsibility for injury or property loss due to unlawful, improper or unintelligent usage of my products. The buyer will assume all responsibility for the safe, proper and intelligent usage of my products.

Shipping of items in the continental United States is free and will be by a method of my choice. Shipping outside that area will be paid by the customer by the least expensive method available.
