Each of the knives I make is unique, and while I do make a few standard patterns, generally I prefer not to reproduce designs. Here you see the actual knives that I have completed and are ready to be purchased. If you have a design of your own that you would like me to make (even if its just a vague idea!), then let me know and I will see what i can do ;-)
In addition to these I sell a few knives through other outlets, for these please see the bottom of this page
I write a small certificate out for each knife I make, detailing the materials used and proof that I made it. If you would like me to print a copy out and send it with your knife, then please let me know.

Dave Budd in the shops
On occasion I seel my wares through other shops, both online and in the highstreet. The knives and tools shown below are ONLY available at these other outlets. If you would like to buy something you see below, please follow te link to the appropriate store and buy through them. In many cases I don't have the knives in my hands, so I don't know straight away what has been sold already.
Please support these other shops and spread the joy :-)
