Each knife is hand crafted from barstock and are made from the best steels available.I specialize in interframe folding knives with engraving and gemstone inlays. Some are engraved in color, a technique I developed about 10 years ago. I am the only maker in the world doing color engraving of this type. Subject matter is unlimited and I try to match the inlay material with the engraving. Many of the inlays are gemstones, such as jades, lapis and opal. I am the first maker to use gem grade Australian opal for inlays in an interframe folder. The first piece was a small dagger with an 18 karat rose gold frame. I also do beautiful arabesque scroll engraving with gold inlays. I am also now doing carving on the frames and blades having spent some time with Wolfgang Loerchner, a dear friend of mine. You will be seeing this on several new models I have designed this year. I am doing a new locking system for my folders and larger blades. I am also a member of the Art Knife Invitational group and show. This is a very prestigious show of only 25 knife artists and is held every 2 years in San Diego, California. This show is by invitation only, both for the makers and the collectors. I have been a part of this show since the second show in Reno, Nevada in the early 1980's. There are many makers wanting to be in this group but it is limited to only 25 of the worlds finest.I am very proud to be a part of this group. * Information Is Quoted From Tim Herman's Website As New From The Maker Never Carried Or Sharpened Only Carefully Shown By Hand  Don't Miss Your ChanceTo Own  This Legendary Knife Makers Work     Please Click The Banner Above To See More Than  $150,000.00In Custom Made Knives All Our Knives Are For Sale No Reserve Make An Offer Is An Option...
