Hi, my name’s Tim Mitchell.
I’d like to welcome you to Alpha Omega Knives, a
small handmade knife company tucked into the hills of the
picturesque Yarra Ranges of Victoria. I‘ve been
making knives since 1998 using only the best steels and natural
handle materials. Recently I have started to make my own
steel after the old processes (crucible patterned steel) and
Persian Damascus. What I call crucible patterned steel has a
very beautiful dendritic (fern-like) pattern of carbides which
when forged looks similar to and is often confused with Persian
wootz.
All the knives which I make are my own
patterns and are designed to be comfortable to use, functional
for their particular task and beautiful to look at.
If you are interested in me making
something for you or have questions about my knives feel free
to contact me.
Often people ask me “Alpha
Omega” what does it mean? Many knife makers put
their initials on their knives so that people will know who
created the knife. When people look at my knives I want
them to think of the creator of all things. Jesus said,”Behold I come quickly and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end, the first and the
last.” (Rev 22:12) I
want people to know that no matter how lost or hopeless they
feel, no matter how deep the darkness that surrounds them;
Jesus is ready to reach down, heal them and save them.
THE BUSHMAN’S MATE
The Bushman’s mate is a general purpose outdoor
knife that is balanced and it’s fit in the hand makes it
a pleasure to use. The fine tip and gentle curve of the
blade work just as well for whittling as for skinning small
game. It is provided with a lanyard hole so when you are
roaming about in the bush you won’t have to worry about
losing it.
(Overall length
6.5 inches - 3.5 inch blade)

THE BUSHMAN
The Bushman is a hunting knife whose 6.5 inch blade
is not awkward to use but is sufficient for all your large game
needs. It features a depression in the handle to
comfortably secure your index finger and ensure complete
control of the knife during use. It is provided with a lanyard
hole so when you are roaming about in the bush you won’t
have to worry about losing it.
(Overall length
11.5 inches - 6.5 inch blade)

AND BUSHMAN’S MATE

THE SKINNER
The Skinner has been designed as an all rounder.
It has an ideal curve to the blade for skinning out small
and large game, however as the tip is located at the
center line of the handle, you still have absolute control for
fine work. The blade is also narrow enough for general use, and
like all of my outdoor knives it incorporates a lanyard hole.
(Overall length
7.75 inches - 3.5 inch blade)
