The LCA Bread and Butter
I often get asked what knife I make the most. Well, I start off by telling them I’ve NEVER made the same knife twice . They may look alike and have the same pattern and handles, but they are always different. However, the most types, we have sold, are a spear point type hunter . Most knives I make are from leaf springs , which is 5160 spring steel, and in the 4 to 6 inch I blade range and usually have a composite wood or polycyclic scales . I like 5160 because it’s tough and very forgiving . I get few warps during heat treat as well. I love the challenge of composite wood scales ( different types of wood in a handle) . It takes patience and exactness.

LCA KNIFEWORKS GET TO KNOW US!
My name is Lee. I take old junk steel and turn it into knives and other tools . I’ve been blacksmithing for going on seven years now. I use and old-school coal forge, that my great uncle passed down to me. I am based in Tylertown, Ms. We do all kinds of knives, but mostly hunting and kitchen knives are my bread and butter. I’m a part time blacksmith, working offshore is my real job. Making knives is my passion . I also make slingshots and slingbows. I have a profile on Facebook where most of my work is displayed, if y’all want to check that out, as well.
