About My name is Brandt Gray, and I make all of the knives you see on this site.  I began making knives in early 2005.  All of my knives are custom made by me here south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I have received much of my instruction in making knives from Delbert Ealy.  Delbert is primarily a custom damascus steel and Mokume-Gane maker.  I use his steel exclusively for my blades and bolsters because of the fine materials and craftsmanship. To date, I make smaller "gents" liner-lock folding knives exclusively.  For the blades and bolsters I utilize primarily damascus steel.  I occasionally use stainless steel for the bolsters and the spines, and titanium for the liners.  For the handle materials I utilize pre-ban elephant ivory, fossil walrus ivory (both dentine or inner ivory and outer ivory), giraffe bone, mammoth tooth and some woods such as ironwood.
