|| ABOUT JAY GORDIN ||

My goal as a knifemaker is to create a cutting tool that is as artful as it is functional. The knife has to feel good in your hand and please the owner in shape, form, fit and finish. I take pride in the sole authorship of my blades. Hand forging, heat treating, tempering, fit and finish of handle & guard and making my own leather sheaths.

I forge my blades out of high carbon steel. The handle material I use varies from micarta (used on WWII electronics boards) to elk, deer and moose horn, fossil ivory, leather, exotic woods, brass, copper, silver.

Jay Gordin lives in Grass Valley, California.
