I clayed up for a pretty basic hamon pattern, but these knives had other plans! They came to life in the quench and I'm stoked on the activity the hamons achieved! Oil quenched, @nj_steelbaron W2 carbon tool steel. All three will be available by the end of the month, but if you'd like to claim one and have a say in the handle material please feel free to shoot me a DM! 8.375" & 8.125" K-Tip Gyutos, and 6.375" Nakiri.

Sent this 7" grailkiri off to it's new home with @kiranskoa today. One-of-a-kind wa handle made out of stacked antique 2-line westinghouse micarta and W2 carbon tool steel with hamon and s-grind.

Finally got some good pics of this beast. Honored to have been chosen by @diondamascus to craft the first knife out of a new stainless damascus clad CuMai they will be launching so you know I had to go all out on it. Thus this 9" subhilt fighter was born. The cladding is 21 layer 316/409SS, nickel/copper/nickel, and a Nitro-V stainless steel core. The subhilt guards are made from Mokume Gane from @diondamascus as well. Handle is @kiranskoa stabilized curly Hawaiin koa. It's fate hasn't been decided yet but I'll be crafting a leather sheath for it over the next week or so and likely be bringing it down for a show & tell visit to the Dion Damascus facility. Keep an eye out for that and for the launch of their new all stainless CuMai!

Crossed the 5000 follower threshold overnight! Thank you all very much for following along and supporting what I do! I appreciate you all and couldn't do it without you! Didn't expect this so soon, I gave a few knives away earlier this month so I'll have to start planning a lil something for that 6k milestone!

My books are officially open and I am now accepting requests for custom knife builds in 2021! I've got a lot planned this year in terms of more economically priced production runs as well as high end skill pushing builds so I'll only be accepting 22 custom orders for the year in order to be able to give them the time and attention they deserve. Don't wait and miss out on your chance to personalize your next handcrafted Camacho Knife! Click link in bio for more info!

What's the first thing you'd cut with this beast? 9.5" chopper hand forged out of 80crv2 carbon steel featuring a natural canvas micarta bolster, fluted brass spacer, and a gorgeous desert ironwood handle held together with a peened & polished brass pin. Custom fit, hand stitched & tooled leather sheath in dyed 8-9oz veg tanned leather with faux alligator skin inlay, retentions strap and solid brass button stud.

Glamour shots of the 6" western chef I finished up last week. This one was very popular and got scooped up quick. I don't usually make chef knives this size but it seemed to be a real crowd pleaser so I may be doing a lot more 6" cheffies this year! What size chef knife do you prefer? Handforged out of @nicholsdamascus carbon "X-Out" pattern steel, black & gold trustone bolster with brass spacer, gorgeous @kiranskoa Honduran Rosewood burl with a peened and polished brass pin.

Haven't been doing much leatherwork lately and got a bit ambitious with this leather sheath so it took longer than planned, but I'm very pleased with the result and think it was well worth the extra time! Don't miss your chance to be this blade's new owner! I'll be ®🅰ffli🆖 it off tomorrow at 5pm est so be sure to check out my story, set an alarm, and turn post notifications on! Hand stitched & tooled, dyed 8-9oz veg tanned leather, faux alligator inlay, with solid brass button stud.

Last 2 knives available for 2020! Both in AEB-L stainless steel w/ resin handles. Purchase by 4pm est and they'll ship today! DM if interested! UPS Ground shipping included for conUS.

Top 9 for 2020! Thank you all very much again for following along and supporting what I do! The year had its set backs but overall it was a very good year for Camacho Knives and I'm looking ahead excitedly to 2021. I felt I really pushed my boundaries and took my knifemaking to a new level this past year and hope to crank it up a few more notches in the new year! Running a tad behind but Ill have a few knives to giveaway in first week of January and will be opening my books back up for custom orders on January 15th! I'll only be offering 22 spots for custom orders next year so keep an eye out so you don't miss out!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, from our family to yours! 2020 hasn't been the most ideal, but it's been a pretty great year for Camacho Knives and I owe that to all of you for following along and supporting my craft and what I do, I couldn't do this without you! I truly appreciate you all and it means the world to us because it's all for these two here. Thank you!!!
