Welcome to my Custom Knife Web Page:

My name is Mark Hoffmann, I hope you enjoy this web page and the custom knife photo's.

I started making knives around 1995 and find it both fun and rewarding. I'm a part-time knife maker using the stock removal method. The primary steel I use is 440C stainless steel and Damasteel stainless steel demascus. I make both fixed blade and folders, with folders being the most rewarding to make.


For handles I like to use Mother of Pearl, India stag, Mammoth Ivory and Buffalo horn. Stabilized wood and Micarta work well also. Titanium is used for liners in the folders and makes a nice contrast when anodized to color. I also do my own heat treating as well.

This web page building thing is new to me. I will try to update and improve the site in the future.
