** NEW LOCATION FOR KNIFE CHAT!
Starting 1 Feb 08, my knife chat will have a new home. The chat
software I have is not the best, and with more and more people showing
up for chat, has become antiquated for our purposes. The knife
chat will be moving to IForgeIron.com This will allow an unlimited
number of people to participate, and provide a much nicer interface for
everyone. It will require that you sign up on
IForgeIron.com if your not already a member, but that is painless and
easy. At the top of the page, simply click on the "Chat" tab, and
it will take you to the chat room.
All the same rules apply as the chat on my site. This will also expose a larger number of folks to the knowledge that we have to offer on Bladesmithing. Please join us on 1 Feb 08, at 10pm eastern, 9pm central, 8pm mountain, 7pm pacific time for knife chat at its new home! Look forward to seeing you there!

** I have been thinking about it for a
while, and finally have set up a blog. It will contain all the
latest news from Caffrey Knives, and will provide a place for others to
post items of interest or questions. You can find my blog at the

EBK is A-OK
"ABS Mastersmith Ed Caffrey is well known for his fancy mosaic damascus dress bowies and folders, but also has a strong
lineup of user-grade, no-frills knives. His little EBK (Ed's Belt Knife) is a hot ticket for someone seeking a small utility knife
that is made by an ABS Mastersmith and that will not cost an arm and a leg. I have used my EBK to cut my steak in New York
City - due to the Big Apple's knife restrictions, something I do not recommend - field dress a deer and do numerous small knife tasks.
With a thin, 2.5 inch 1080 carbon steel blade complete with an attractive temper line and a G-10 handle, the EBK is a small but power-
ful cutter that is ideal for most daily tasks. The blade takes a razor-sharp edge and is a good all-around shape. I simply drop mine
sheathed in my pants pocket, where its flatness goes unnoticed until needed. The EBK starts at $165 for one in "straight" carbon
steel and a bit more for Ed's great damascus."
