MD Edgeworks is the work of Texas bladesmith Micah Dunn, a maker who came to knife-making through more than a decade of professional welding and fabrication experience. Micah started his bladesmithing journey in 2020, and that metalworking foundation shows in every MD Edgeworks knife he builds — clean welds, tight tolerances, and a deep understanding of how steel behaves under heat and pressure.
MD Edgeworks knives span both EDC fixed blades and kitchen cutlery, with a lineup that reflects a maker equally comfortable forging a camp knife as he is finishing a chef's blade. Micah works across multiple steels depending on the application. 52100 . Nitro-V stainless steel shows up in the Avian and Scalpel lines, offering a balance of corrosion resistance and cutting performance suited to everyday carry. MagnaCut makes an appearance in select Scalpel configurations for users who want next-generation edge retention in a compact fixed blade. His Damascus work pairs 1084 and 15N20 in hand-forged billets, featured in the Mini Scalpel line alongside premium handle materials like mammoth ivory and mammoth molar.
The MD Edgeworks lineup at DLT Trading includes the Bison, a robust outdoor fixed blade built around 52100 steel and natural handle materials like desert ironwood. The Roughneck takes a similar approach with curly maple scales and a stonewashed 52100 blade. The Avian is a compact fixed blade offered in multiple handle configurations including micarta, G-10, and Grip X, all running Nitro-V steel. The Scalpel delivers a slim, precision-oriented fixed blade available in both Nitro-V and MagnaCut depending on the variant, with handle options ranging from OD green G-10 to Grip X. The Mini Scalpel scales things down further and showcases Micah's Damascus forging with 1084 and 15N20 billets paired with rare handle materials. The Bird & Trout rounds out the collection with a classic small game pattern in stonewashed 52100 — a model that has earned praise on BladeForums for its handle ergonomics and versatile blade geometry.
Handle materials across the MD Edgeworks lineup reflect a maker who values both natural and modern options. Desert ironwood, curly maple, mammoth ivory, and mammoth molar sit alongside G-10, micarta, and Grip X, depending on the model and intended use.
Every MD Edgeworks knife is hand forged in Texas.
