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.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.
