On this page, you'll see a few of my latest works. Don't forget to look at the Featured Knives pages 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, and 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.
• You may have noticed that I don't post on any of the knife forums or bulletin boards on the internet anymore, and haven't since mid-2009. The reason for this is very simple: I don't have the time! Currently, I'm years in backorders, with many projects outstanding, and with all of the website, writing, and other works, I simply have to carefully police my time. To those of you who have missed my presence there, please know that you are always welcome on this very website!
• If you've had one of my pages listed in your favorites of your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc., or if you are coming to the site from a link I sent you, and are receiving "Page Not Found" errors, please do not worry. The names of the pages on the site have had to be renamed, as part of the site restructuring and upgrade. If you make it here, you can get anywhere on the site, and a good place to start is my Home Page or my Table of Contents page. Sorry for any inconvenience, and once this is finished the page names will never change again! More details here.
• I've been working hard to continue to grow and add to the pages on the site with more information, more drawings, and more definitions. Take a look at the ever-expanding Knife Anatomy page, the Featured Knives pages (four of them), the Tactical and Combat Knives page, and the Tactical Sheath Accessories page. If you haven't seen these lately, you may be surprised at the scope of growth there!
• There is now a Fourth Funny Emails page that is still growing for your entertainment and interest. Please keep a sense of humor when reading these pages, and know that I acknowledge that people have needs and opinions about knives. This is a good thing, as it shows knife interest in general is very high. Passions may run a bit misdirected though, and I do hope these folks find what they are looking for, even though it's not on this site.
• 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 completely 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. There are now over 400 of them! 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!
• Lost wax bronze casting is a new technique and process here at Enchanted Spirits Studio. Look for more of my handmade sculptural works, components, fittings, and knife stands and accoutrements being hand-sculpted in wax by yours truly, and then cast in bronze. A good example of this is "Aegir," my latest knife sculpture. These will be singular works, and no molds or copies will be made. Bronze casting for knives with gemstones, leathers, exotic skins and woods, and the finest steels the world has to offer? You bet!
• 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 four to five years on my sole authorship knives. 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 taking orders and 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! If you need a fine handmade custom combat, tactical, or chef's knife in a sooner time frame, please consider the collaborative works of Rusty Russom with me, here in the Enchanted Spirits Studio. Our collaborative works promise a delivery time in months instead of years.
• 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 receive about 100,000 hits a day and there is just no stopping this behemoth. Thanks for the support!
• 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.
• Starting in January 2011, Rusty Russom, my stepson, has made the transition to full time knife making, right here in Enchanted Spirits Studio! We are making commemoratives aimed at a quicker delivery time in the less elaborate knife orders. Learn more about the collaborative works in the studio on this page.
• In March of 2011, I finally had enough of my old server, and they could not deliver reliable downloading and uploading of my web site. I had numerous problems over the last several years, and it was starting to effect how clients and people were viewing the web site. I wanted to add some upgrades and new capabilities, and that just wasn't happening with my old server, and they could not help. So, in early March 2011, I moved my site to a newer, more modern, more professional server. This was a lot more effort than most people realize, but it's finally done. This will allow me a better site, more professional delivery and even some add-ons that will be coming in the future. It's exciting now to see how the site will be able to grow!
• 2012 already looks to be a great year, with new project orders coming in, and more existing works on the way. Please check back often, as the site is updated every few days.

Thanks for being here!
