Santa Fe Stoneworks Kaleidoscope Designs:
Santa Fe Stoneworks has been working in collaboration with master inlay artist Steve Rosenblum for over 15 years. Originally from Long Island, New York, Steve moved to New Mexico in 1976 where he began his career producing intricate inlays. The Southwest had a major influence in his designs. Several years ago, he moved to Vermont and opened Rainbo Woodworks. These elaborate inlays are created form treated domestic hardwoods using a process similar to that found in the finest handmade quilts.
Santa Fe Stoneworks Note: there are over 1,800 patterns available and they will vary slightly from those shown.
About Santa Fe Stoneworks
In the shadows of the Sangre de Cristo mountains sets a century-old adobe ranch house where artisans handcraft art knives of rare beauty. From one-of-a-kind custom designs to popular, affordable collections of pocket knives, table and kitchen cutlery, men's gifts and accessories, each of Santa Fe Stoneworks collectibles is a unique example of the cutler's art - the quintessential marriage of fine steels with gemstone, shell or intricate wood marquetry.
Santa Fe Stoneworks Knife Handle Options
This is what made Santa Fe Stoneworks famous, our beautifully hand-crafted handles. Please note, for affordability, all handles are one-sided unless otherwise specified. Most models can be double sided, for a reasonable 30% per-unit markup. Remember that our custom handles are painstakingly made by hand with the human touch, never created by machines in large factories.

Santa Fe Stoneworks Steel Types
Here you'll find the steels most commonly used in our various lines. By definition steel is a combination of iron and a small amount of carbon. Blade steel typically is alloyed with trace amounts of other elements to produce special properties – unique qualities for a particular use. These qualities include rust resistance, ease of sharpening, edge retention and strength.

440 STAINLESS
The 440 class stainless steels used in our production line are, arguably, the finest blade materials available domestically. It takes and holds a keen edge with a minimal amount of effort and maintenance. Characteristics of this steel include extremely high corrosion resistance (yes, even stainless steels can rust), high wear resistance, and good cutting qualities. This is the steel you will find in our designs made from Camillus Cutlery blanks.
ATS-34
The ATS-34 steel found in our factory custom Benchmade Knives and many of our own custom offerings is a recent extension of the 440 series, adding more carbon and chromium to the metal, as well as a dash of molybdenum for more hardness, strength and corrosion resistance.
EXOTIC STEELS
The G-2, VG-10, ATS-55, and AUS-6 steels found in our factory custom Spydercos are the most exotic blade steels available today. Trace additions of chromium, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium combine to offer state-of-the-art toughness, strength, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Spyderco is recognized as one of the industry’s leading developers of better blade steels today.
Damascus Steel
Damascus steel refers to the blade material made legend by the edged weapons of the Saracens who made short work of the Crusaders of the Middle Ages. Although the process dates back to biblical times, perhaps the best known use for this steel is in the swords of feudal Japan. Damascus blades are prized for their beauty, flexibility, and strength. In a very labor-intensive process, high-and low-carbon steels are combined as welded layers. From twelve to 600 pattern-welded layers comprise each blade. This exotic blade material is employed in some of our limited edition work, as well as in one-of-a-kind collaborations with custom knife makers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the terms of warranty on my Santa Fe Stoneworks collectible?
Covered items are any parts proven to be defective in material or workmanship. Warranty term is as long as you own the product! Specifically excluded are problems due to misuse or abuse.
Do all your products have custom handles on both sides?
No, for affordability, all handles are one-sided unless otherwise specified. Most models can be double sided, for a reasonable 30% per-unit markup. Remember that our handles are painstakingly made by hand with the human touch, never created by machines in large factories.
How do I sharpen my knife?
Use a good, medium/fine stone or steel, moistened with light oil.
Be sure to maintain the same angle for each stroke (we recommend a 20° angle for a good, general-purpose edge).
Count your honing strokes; then turn the blade over and hone with an equal number of strokes.
Start strokes with heavy pressure, then ease off to a lighter pressure and finish with a light stroke -- both sides.
NOTE: Never use a power-driven grinding wheel to sharpen your knife. This can heat the blade to the point where its temper (a hardening process accomplished by heating and quenching) is damaged.
SERRATED MODELS: To sharpen a serrated blade (such as those found on our Spyderco® knives), it will be necessary to buy a sharpener designed specifically for this purpose. This you can buy through us or through any reputable cutlery shop. Be sure to ask for a sharpener made specifically for serrated blades!
Is my cutlery dishwasher-safe?
NO. We do not encourage subjecting your cutlery to extremes of heat or long-term exposure to agitated water. Don't leave any pieces soaking in dish water for extended periods of time. Don't use scouring pads, cleansers, or any other abrasive product, as they may permanently mar the finish.
How can I extend the useful life of my pocket knife?
An occasional drop of oil on the moving parts of a knife will ensure easier opening and closing, prevent rust, and lessen wear. Avoid getting sand, grit, lint, or other foreign particles in the mechanism. Keep blades clean and dry, and wipe clean with an oil-moistened cloth to prevent rust.
How can I extend the useful life of my tableware and kitchen cutlery?
When not in use, keep your cutlery in the gift box in which it came. After use, wash the blade with soap and water, wipe down the handle with a soft cloth, and dry the piece before putting it away. Occasionally, wipe down the handle with a good quality, liquid furniture polish to maintain its luster.
How do I close my lockback folding knife?
(Figure 1.) With thumb of right hand, press down on lock lever. With left hand press blade down slightly. (Figure 2.) Remove thumb from lock and grasp handle on both sides, making certain fingers are NOT curled around bottom of knife handle. Press blade down remainder of way to its closed position.
What else can I do with my knife?
Your knife was designed to cut and NOT to be used as a heavy duty tool. DO NOT use your knife as a hammer, pry bar, screw driver, or for any other task than that intended (or you may void the warranty!).
