Ivory Crow Knives & Krafts | Thomas Sprouse
Thomas Sprouse, the craftsman behind Ivory Crow Knives & Krafts, began his journey in woodworking long before he ever envisioned himself as a bladesmith. A visit to a wood supply store sparked a new direction when he discovered knife blank kits that allowed him to create his own handles. What started as curiosity quickly became a craft he couldn’t put down. After mastering handle work, Thomas pushed himself further by learning to design and forge his own knife blanks from a range of steels, laying the foundation for his signature style.
Entirely self-taught, Thomas has spent the past decade refining his techniques and experimenting with steel types, handle materials, and blade shapes. His work reflects both a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship and an eagerness to explore new methods. Each knife is thoughtfully designed, shaped, and finished by hand, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces that function as both tools and collectibles.
At Ivory Crow Knives & Krafts, Thomas focuses on creating unique, handcrafted knives for collectors who appreciate artistry, durability, and original design. His passion lies in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with steel and wood, ensuring that every blade carries its own personality and story.
