A New Chapter for an Emerging American Knife Maker

 

The Squire V2 from Severed Metal Works represents a clear step forward in Dean’s journey as an American knife maker. Built in Northern Alabama, this compact fixed blade measures roughly 7.5 inches overall and carries the same rugged, pocket sized utility that made the original Squire so compelling, but with meaningful refinements throughout.

Dean is still early in his career as a bladesmith, with fewer than one hundred knives made to date, and the Squire V2 reflects his commitment to improving with every batch. These knives are produced in small numbers, individually serialized, and intentionally personal, each one marking progress in skill, consistency, and execution.


What’s New in Version 2

The V2 Squire introduces several important upgrades over the original run:

  • 8670 high carbon steel, chosen for toughness, stability, and excellent heat treat response
  • In house scientific heat treatment, allowing tighter control over hardness and performance
  • Improved sharpening process, resulting in more consistent edges and better cutting performance
  • Serial numbers restarted from 1, marking a clean reset and a new phase in production

These changes reflect Dean’s focus on refinement, repeatability, and learning through disciplined process.

 

Built for Adventure, Finished by Hand

Unlike traditional hand forging, the Squire V2 is produced using a stock removal process, allowing Dean to focus on precision grinding, heat treatment, and finishing. Each blade is shaped, heat treated, ground, sharpened, and finished by hand in his small Alabama workshop.

Handles and finishes vary by serial number, giving every knife its own personality while maintaining the same core design and performance goals.

 

Crafted in Northern Alabama

Every Squire V2 is made start to finish in Dean’s shop using simple tools, controlled processes, and a growing understanding of what makes a good working knife. This is honest American craftsmanship from a maker who is actively honing his craft and building toward a long term future in knifemaking.

 

Blacksmith for Life

Every Severed Metal Works knife includes Lifetime Blacksmith Benefits, covering free repairs and lifetime sharpening for the life of the knife. Customers are only responsible for shipping to and from the shop.

Only “tough” toy my Doberman loves!
Pattern Name: Octopus
Not indestructible, but last a good long while. Definitely worth the money and lasts longer than any other plush toys we’ve had (which is all my dog will play with). It’s for sure my Dobermans favorite, I’ve ordered probably 10 at this point. He gets the stuffing out after a month or two and we open a new one. He’s picky with toys, either destroys them or ignores them, but he never gets bored with his octopus! 🐙 He sneaks one outside once in a while and the neighbor’s dogs steal it. They love it too and thankfully can’t destroy before I retrieve it.

Great for a Pitball
Pattern Name: Octopus
I have a Pitbull and she absolutely loves this toy. I always wait a while before giving a review. She has had this toy Since the beginning of July and she is still playing with this toy. It does have little holes but it is still going. She loves it. Playing tug of war with her. I also take it and wrap it around her collar and watch her dance around trying to get it out(I don't leave it there long). This a great buy. I also bought and extra one so when this one does finally dies she will have another. The material is strong, The sound is about normal for a squeaky toy.

Cute, but not tough enough.
Pattern Name: Octopus
This toy is cute, my pug loves it, and I like how the legs are strong but the top of the octopuses head isn't tough enough which is worrisome because thats where the squeaker is. It might work out for a smaller dog though.

Fun Resilient Chew Toy
Pattern Name: Octopus
I have a boxer/pit mix and she loves this! I bought it 4 months ago and it’s still going strong so I know it’s quality made and perfect for dogs that like to chew and play tug of war. It has been chew resistant for my girl and she loves the little squeak. I just throw it in the washer when I wash her bed. Great value and a safe toy that’s a good size for a medium to large dog.
