Waccamaw Redux (aka The Wedding Knife)

Every man needs a special knife for their wedding...don't they? Well, Scott certainly does and here it is.


Remember the Waccamaw - a blade that Scott forged out of an old tool file at a local hertitage days festival...


...well, this is the Waccamaw all cleaned up and decorated with cove filing, a mirror finish, nickle silver bolsters, copper liners and white micarta handles. Mighty swanky I'd say.



This knife isn't for sale, but ones like it could be. Contact us if you are interested - guineahogforge@gmail.com. And remember, every man needs a special knife for his special day.

Droppoint Runt with Bone Handle

Here is Scott's latest knife - a droppoint Runt with bone handle and leather sheath -SOLD!


Note the beautiful Japanese style hamon. This knife is 7 inches long and weighs 3.7 ounces without the sheath/ 5.4 ounces with the sheath.

Javelina with Desert Ironwood Handle

Yet another commission. Scott just finished this Javelina with Desert Ironwood Handle and leather sheath. Check out that hamon!

Javelina with Desert Ironwood handles and leather sheath $250. That includes insured USPS shipping anywhere in the continental US.

The Arashigoto Mako

Scott was commissioned to make this knife for a law enforcement officer/knife tactical instructor. Arashigoto is Japanese for "hard work", and this knife was designed specifically to withstand the beating a police officer can deliver in a day or night's work. It is a Tanto style tactical and looks like a mako shark - hence the two names.

This Arashigoto Mako was hewn out of 01 tool steel, has black linen micarta scales and a black Kydex sheath with Tek-Loc clip. It can be carried upright, inverted or horizontal (left or right).


The knife weighs 7.5 ounces, is 8 1/2 inches in total length and the blade is 3 3/4 inches long. I did not taper the tang on this one to give it extra heft for a butt strike, and I filed 20-line per inch checkering in 3 areas on the knife (two on the back, and one underneath) so that it grabs the hand and doesn't let go. The sheath/knife fit is very positive on the Arashigoto Mako as well, to prevent the knife from accidentally breaking loose when worn inverted position.

Arashigoto (hard work) Mako with Kydex sheath and Tec-Loc clip (includes USPS Priority Shipping anywhere in the continental US) - $275 Taking orders now!

Spearpoint Runt with Bone Handle

Here's Scott's latest knife. He took the GHF Javelina and sized it down a bit, then made a mini version of it along with a drop point and wharncliff version at the same smaller size (7 inches long). This spearpoint Runt was just completed and the drop point and wharncliff versions are in the works.


Scott went with red bone handles and a leather sheath for this version of the spearpoint Runt, but the knife can be made with micarta handles and a kydex sheath at a lower pricepoint. Note that this Runt has a Japanese style hamon - wavy line on the blade is done by coating the back of the blade in clay during the hardening process. The drop point and wharncliff versions will be hardened by this same method.


Bone handled Runt with leather sheath $200 (includes USPS shipping anywhere in the continental US) SOLD!

Runt with micarta handles and Kydex sheath $150 (includes USPS shipping anywhere in the continental US) Taking orders now!

The Waccamaw

Scott was the blacksmith at the Lake Waccamaw Southern Heritage Days festival this weekend. He knocked out a few hooks, decorative leaves, a fire poker and a door handle on Saturday, but by Sunday he was done with Blacksmithing 101 and was ready to show off his bladesmithing skills. Scott found an old file a few days prior to the show and decided he'd try making a tribal style knife out of it. No power tools were used - just a coal fired forge (circa 1800's), a hammer and a variety of files. Scott's dad dubbed the knife "The Waccamaw".










Even the festival farrier and bullwhip master were entranced with the knifemaking.




We had a great time and plan to do it again next year!
