Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Big Chris Custom Knives

Hello, New Member here but wanted to say hi and show some pictures of some knives I make. I am a stay at home dad to 3 kids with the oldest turning 4 at the first of the year.
I have been making knives since 2010 right after my little girl was born. I make mostly hunting and camping type knives, but have made a few Tactical designs as well. I make a lot of larger chopper style knives, and I really enjoy making Chef and Kitchen knives. Chef and Kitchen knives are the knives that in my experience get the most use, when we are not using our hunting knives for kitchen duties.
I use a lot of different steels in my knife making, both stainless and good old carbon.

This is a pretty good sampling of what I make. I do not have any decent pictures of my bigger chef knives or I would show them as well. Thanks for looking, and if you have any questions you can post here or email me at bigchriscustomknivesgmail.com

Here are two I bought from Chris
Great guy to deal with

Here is a Camp Knife I just finished, 12.5" OAL with 7.75" Blade .225" thick from a new (to me) steel PD 1 at 63 Rc. It has a convex grind as well.


Here are 2 new choppers I just finished as well. Both are CPM 3V at 60 Rc. The Black handle one has a 15" blade and the Jade G10 knife has a 12" Blade.

That Jager is colorful I had to put the shades on,very cool! , I really like that utility skinner it is sweet.

chit.... this guy is gonna make life expensive for me.... can you send me prices for a hunter, EDC hunter, and a bird/trout. also what blade sizes are on each

I have seen a lot of your work on Blade Forums. Always impressive. Welcome to the 'fire

What a fine selection. Many styles , for different jobs.

Here is another hunter I just finished yesterday.


It was made from 3/32" Elmax stainless with Black/OD G10 and then custom textured by me.

Thanks for looking

I like the texturing on that last one! Very nice looking knife.

The texture on that is killer. You can't slip off these scales. Hoping to get to use it soon Chris.

Thanks all. I am anxious to hear your thoughts after you get to use it some. I was going for an aggressive, secure, but comfortable grip. I really liked the feel in hand and really wanted to use it some myself, but I guess I can always make another.

Big Chris.....I'm sure you'll be making plenty of them

Here is one I just finished for a customer. It is a Sgian Dubh inspired boot knife made from CPM 3V. Removable scales with the whole thing being Cerakoted. I really like the coating and have plans to have several knives coated in the coming future.
Now the pics

Nice heavy duty knife. Looks like it could be used as a bayonet!

Nice job Chris.

Been doing a lot more work over the holidays while my wife was off.
Here are some BushCrafters I finished
These first 3 are from CPM 3V




This last one is from 154CM with sculpted Black/OD G10

Thought I would show a couple knives I have completed over the last couple weeks.
