Forged Knives and Handmade Custom Leather Sheaths By Swamp Fox Knives.

I have been hand forging my knives over an anvil as full time work since 1997. Until then, forge work had been a hobby taught to me by my father when I was nine years old. You can be confident that a knife from me is durable and reflects my love of early American styled blades. Leather sheaths that accompany my knives are hand sewn. I craft other items such as powder measures and horns, fire steels, war clubs and camp axes as diversions from my knife work. You can read more about me and see a video by going to the bottom of this page and selecting other pages in my website. I am semi-retired and only forge as my hands and shoulder allow.

Purchasers must be 18 years old or older. Purchases may be made by credit card/ debit card or checking account through Pay Pal. Also, I will accept money orders or personal checks. CHECKS NEED TO BE MADE OUT TO TIM S. RIDGE. MAILED PURCHASES (by money order or check) need to be made AFTER an e-mail I have replied to OR phone call is made to me so the item can be reserved as a "PENDING" sale. In the past some items have sold through Pay Pal while a mailed transaction was on route (unknown to me) by regular mail. Personal checks will cause a 3-4 week delay in shipping because I will wait for your check to clear your bank before mailing to you. There is a $70.00 fee on returned checks. Shipping with Insurance chart is below. I reserve for a maximum of 2 weeks. Most of my knives and products are marked with my USPTO Registered Trademark...a Running Fox with TR inside the body...and are shipped sharp!!! Use caution when unpacking!!!
