It has come to my attention that I haven't made this clear to everyone...

C Smitherman Custom Knives was started 2 years ago.
I make custom knives from pre-made blanks in damascus steel, 1095, 5160, 52100 carbon steels. On occasion I will do knives from ATS-34 & 440C stainless steel.
Handle materials I use range from standard woods to exotics like mammoth tooth and mammoth ivory. I prefer to use stabilized woods. Stabilized wood is impregnated with acrylic resin to make it virtually impervious to liquids of any kind.
I assemble my knives using the highest quality materials and workmanship. I use West Systems Marine epoxy for assembly which is completely water proof as well as having a high sheer strength.
The sheath for my knives are also handmade and tooled by myself. They are made of 6-9 oz vegetable tanned leather.

If anyone is unsatisfied with their knives please contact me. Thanks!

Clarence makes a great knife that is both functional and affordable. His leather work is excellent. Custom knives that sell for $300 and up are nice to look at, and if you buy the right one, at the right price, good investments. As much as I might like to have a knife made by a "guild member" I just can't spend that much money on a knife that I will not use. I'd rather hunt and I can't do both. Lord knows I've tried. God Bless those that can. As for Clarence and others like him "Keep up the good work. Your efforts are appreciated".

Your knives are GREAT !!! I love the 2 I have and keep checking the ones you list because sometimes a knife seems to call to me.

I've got 2 of Clarences knives too and love them.

You can't beat Clarence's knives. He's done repair work for me on a Case Bulldog that needed some new scales. Fixed it right up with some stag! It made a nice gift for my hunting partner.

Send Clarence a PM about your Case knife. Maybe he can or maybe he can't. You won't know unless you ask. He'll be honest with you for sure.
