I tried making my first knife right after finishing college of Civil Engineering. I couldn't find a job...so I thought that was the perfect time to try and build my own knife. I always wanted to make my own knife...but that proved to be harder than I thought! Funny thing is that I had absolutely no prior knowledge in metal working and things like mill , lathe or a surface grinder were all strange to me and really didn't know how they looked like let         alone how to work with them.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Soon after my initial idea of making knives I got my first materials , sheet of Ti and two sheets of s30v , needless to say I screwed up titanium and s30v completely... My first tools were my grinder and a drill press... now my grinder was a piece of crap , took about one day to grind a blade pre heat treat, after I got it back from HT it would take another day to finish it . Little by little I was investing all my spare cash into new equipment and better tools... and I can tell you that you always need more tools and machines. When it comes down to why I make knives the way I do, so thick and overbuilt, I guess the simplest answer is that I just love them overbuilt! And each knife I make, I make it just as I'm making it for my self!!!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n I remember when I first saw a Strider.. fell in love on the first glance, soon after I got my first SMF and was blown away by the toughness and yet simplicity of the design! As you can all see Strider was a huge influence on my work, love the huge pivot and the external stop pin as in my opinion it's the absolute toughest combination for a hard use knife.\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n These facts and background of the maker should make it clear WHY people desire a Bergman designed knife.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Tombstone Knife Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47532880986326,"sku":null,"price":597.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/8727\/0358\/files\/10_fe617b04-589b-493c-9144-d45aeb8ba28f.jpg?v=1764776424","url":"https:\/\/www.tombstoneknifeworks.com\/products\/rare-dalibor-bergam-asgard-integral-ti-handle-magnacut-1st-production-run-sn-17","provider":"Tombstone Knife Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
