FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE ENCLOSED A LITTLE BIT OF MR. STEKETEE'S HISTORY. I HAVE ADDED SOME OF MR. STEKETEE'S AMAZING LIFE WORKSCRAIG STEKETEE : Craig Steketee states “I began designing and crafting custom knives full-time as Stek Knives in 1991. I am a member of "Professional Knifemakers Association" (PKA) and "The American Bladesmith Society" (ABS). I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ft. Wayne Art Institute in 1974 and a Master of Fine Arts from Western Michigan University in 1976 majoring in sculpture and printmaking. I taught art at the university level from 1977 through 1991. My sculptures, paintings, and prints have been exhibited at numerous art galleries and museums throughout the country. I first began forging and casting steel while in graduate school. My knives have been illustrated in the Knives Publication (by Ken Warner), the Knife Magazine, Blade Magazine, Fighting and Tactical Knives.” “Stek Knives are produced almost exclusively from Damascus steel which is hand forged in my shop. Damascus steel is the result of multi layers of steel forge welded together to create a variety of patterns. The two main types of steel I use for my blades are 1080 and 15N20. A mixture that is alternately stacked, forged and hand welded together to make a billet. Four to eight billets are then stacked together to make a completed billet of 240, 360, or 480 layers. Because of the different layers of steel, a Damascus blade has an excellent cutting edge similar to a serrated knife.”PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER KNIFE AUCTIONS AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!
