Welcome to JH Knives

 

JH Knives are custom, handcrafted knives made by Jesse Hadley. Each knife is crafted with precision and high quality materials. It is our goal to create a knife, whether it be for a high end collection or field use, that will impress and last for a lifetime.

I am using Damascus steel that is handcrafted and forged in the USA. In the forging process, a 25 layer billet is used that consists of 1095 high carbon steel and 15n20 high carbon steel with 2% nickel steel. The steel is then drawn out and re-welded repeatedly until about 200 layers are achieved. After this, the steel is made into bar stock and shaped into the desired blade style. Then it is bevel ground, heat treated to an RC of 58-59 and etched to create the distinguishing Damascus pattern.
