On this page, you'll see some of my latest works. Don't forget to look at the Featured Knives page here. Most of the new works will have individual pages, with multiple photos and detailed descriptions of the knives, sheaths, cases, stands, and ideas related to the project.

Here are some of my latest projects and news:

• Shows: People have asked where and when I might be doing a show. I don't do shows anymore. In fact, the last show I attended was the Knifemaker's Guild Show in 2005. The Guild requires that voting members attend one show every third year. Because of this rule, I resigned from the Knifemaker's Guild back in 2007. I have too many commitments to clients, and too long of a waiting list to be able to take the time to attend shows. There was a time when I did 13 shows a year. Every moment was spent either preparing for shows or travelling to them. For professional knife makers like myself, those days are passing. The internet has changed all that, and now you can see everything I'm making, new projects, get much more information than a knife show right here on my web site. JayFisher.com is my show! For guys that need serious face time, please know that you can arrange a visit to my studio, or even meet me using Skype teleconferencing. Email me here.
• 2010: In 2009, James Beauchamp took on the challenge of creating collaborative knives in my studio. James is my son-in-law, and a gifted and talented man. We've made a selection of collaborative knives, and it looks like it will be another great year for more. You can see his works and read more about this effort on a special page. 2009 was a great year for my own knives, with new gemstones acquired, and new and elaborate art projects as well as plenty of orders will keep me very busy in 2010!
• The special slabs of Nebula stone gemstone are slated for an  art knife, a unique piece nearly finished. I wanted to come up with something extraordinary for this striking new gemstone find, complimentary and stunning. Wait till you see this! Keep an eye on my Nebula stone page for the details.
• I've had to pull the Rodger's Sword pages from the website. The reason is that I discovered that several entities (other websites) were actually selling the link to my site as an instruction set to make swords and fine knives! I don't get paid to photograph, compile, and submit this information, so why should someone else make money off my efforts? This is one of the unfortunate realities of the internet. When I get the project finished, I'll probably make up a CD ROM album of the steps.
• You've noticed (I hope) that the website is taking on a new look. This is because of the internet is going to standards compliance, accessibility, XHTML language, and CSS style layouts. For most of you, this is Greek, but I've got to keep the site up to modern standards, since it is my livelihood. What you'll see is a better site, with cleaner code, faster downloads, and a nice new look. This will take a while, I can only work on it an hour or two each day, but you'll start to see some pages changing. The old site will start to be replaced, with a different header and footer, better photographs, and a nice layout, offering a better experience here. Here are some links to new pages, please check the layout and let me know if you have any problems! I'm up over 220 pages, so I'm over two thirds finished.
• Along with the website update, I've decided to include and identify my older and early works. Though these knives date from a few years back to a few decades back, I think it's important to include them in the historical and archival perspective of my entire works. As I update the pages, I'll identify them with a text annotation on the photo or on the page stating that they are Older/Early Works.
• My book on the modern handmade and custom knife is coming along, albeit slowly due to the site rebuild. I've dedicated my morning computer and office time to answering emails and inquiries and working on the website. Once I have the site updated, I'll be able to spend much more time on the book.
• New patterns are constantly coming up. A lot of them have a distinctly tactical look, some are quite striking. I've got a game hatchet in production as well as some unique wildly curved pieces that have never been made by a modern custom knifemaker! Keep an eye on the Patterns page here.
• I'm constantly working to improve my engraving, filework, blade work, and sheath work. You can see the results of that on the latest featured knives and on the embellishment page here. I've been asked to create a filework catalog, so clients can choose individual styles for their knives. Another page on the website with dozens of photos? Yeah, I'll get right on that!
• If you've sent a recent inquiry about a custom knife, you might be a bit shocked when I quote you a waiting period of about four years. Since I've got well over 100 knives in production at any given time, and a huge list of ongoing orders, this is a reality. It's great to be in demand; I'll keep making knives for my clients, and if you are one of the ones on my list, please know that I thank you for your great patience as I work through the list and make my way to your project. It will be worth it!
• Though there may be a lot of talk about the economy, rest assured that your favorite knife maker is still piling up orders. I can't get them out fast enough, and the waiting list continues to grow. The website traffic continues to grow to the tune of several thousand hits a day per month, and there is just no stopping this behemoth!
• I've stopped offering the CD ROM catalog to the general public. The catalog is now at four discs in volume, so is costly to produce. I do maintain this important archive and have it available to my clients.
• If you're a regular client and want to know what's new (besides knives), please take a look at my client's news page.

Thanks for being here!
