 Dusty Moulton"I started making custom knives as a full-time maker/designer in 1991. I use ATS-34 as the primary steel in all my knives, as I feel it has all the qualities that are important in a knife. I also use Damascus steel from various outside sources in some of my creations, depending on the requirements of the job, or at my client's personal request.
All of my knives are made freehand. That is, I "do not" incorporate the use of mills, lathes, surface grinders, etc. ... strictly basic belt grinders, a drill press and a bandsaw. The extra time it takes to do a superior fit and finish by hand is what a custom Moulton Knife is all about. I strive, above all, to build a high quality product that the discriminating buyer will be proud to own. All knives are created by stock removal and are each hollow ground, most of them having tapered tangs and dovetailed bolsters. Then, with each piece I create, I offer a personal satisfaction guarantee because I stand behind my work and it's underlying quality is paramount.
In this world where "specialization" seems to be the keyword of the day, I would state that "my specialty is the precision finish", but, as you'll see throughout this site, the designs that I create are unique in the custom knife market. I want people to know when they see one of my knives in a collection, "that's a Moulton"! For me, this is the ultimate satisfaction I get from the work and the supreme goal I have in this pursuit."
