About Not currently employed
Not Currently Employed is a company that specializes in crafting custom handmade knives. The company is owned and operated by a skilled custom knifemaker who has years of experience in the industry. The knives are made using hand-forged Damascus and fine cutlery steels, which are known for their durability and strength. In addition, the handles of the knives are made from exotic hardwoods, which add to their beauty and uniqueness.
The process of making these custom handmade knives begins with selecting the finest materials available. The knifemaker carefully chooses each piece of steel and wood to ensure that it meets his high standards for quality. Once the materials have been selected, he begins the process of forging the steel into shape.
The forging process involves heating the steel to a high temperature and then hammering it into shape on an anvil. This process not only shapes the blade but also strengthens it by aligning its molecular structure. After forging, each blade is carefully ground to its final shape before being heat-treated to harden it.
Once all blades have been forged and heat-treated, they are ready for handle construction. The handles are made from exotic hardwoods such as Cocobolo or Desert Ironwood that have been stabilized for added durability against moisture changes over time.
Each handle is shaped by hand using traditional woodworking tools such as chisels, rasps, files or sandpaper until they fit perfectly with their respective blades.
Finally, after all components have been crafted separately they come together in assembly where each knife receives its final touches including sharpening on water stones until razor sharpness has been achieved.
Not Currently Employed's custom handmade knives offer unparalleled quality craftsmanship that will last generations if properly cared for!
