The Future    
One of the most rewarding aspects of this venture is seeing it all evolve. Ten years ago, I started with very minimal equipment and a lot of determination.
For four years, my shop didn’t even have air conditioning.

Looking back, I really don’t know how I overcame that part!

  Blackwood Custom Knives - The Maker - The Future - Workshop   Things have really changed since those early days.

In the past 4 years my number one goal has been to improve the capacity and ability of my shop, and most importantly it’s equipment.

I’m a tool and equipment nut and can never have enough equipment.

Working on the collaborations requires me to quickly work up designs and prototypes.
 
 
  Today all my designs are done in CAD using specialized software and state of the art computers.

An in house CNC milling machine is also used to streamline this development process.

This technology spills over into the custom knives as well. As the shops depth and capacity grows so does the complexity and scope of my custom knives.

Stay tuned for more new designs in 06!
