{"product_id":"david-lisch-custom-ranch-hand-fix-blade","title":"David Lisch | Custom \"Ranch Hand\" Fix Blade","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Lisch has spent most of his life working metal — as a fabricator, a blacksmith, a knife maker, and an artist. An ABS Mastersmith, he and his wife Andrea, herself a knife maker, run a school in Yelm, Washington, teaching the next generation of smiths the same techniques he's spent decades refining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat lifetime shows in the blade. \"Damascus is in my blood,\" Lisch says. \"Stacking and resizing, forging and manipulating the patterns so that each billet is one of a kind, and each knife is a unique piece of art and a fully functioning tool.\" The Ranch Hand carries his signature 1080\/15N20 Damascus, forged into a tight, directional pattern built as much for hard use as for the eye. The handle is natural stag — dense, weathered, and unrepeatable — fitted to a blade shape made for real work: skinning, field dressing, ranch chores, camp tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced directly from Lisch by our custom knife buying team at Blade Show 2026, this knife arrives with a protective zippered pouch and a simple leather sheath — ready for the belt or the display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: David Lisch, ABS Mastersmith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: 1080\/15N20 Damascus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Natural stag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Yelm, WA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquired: Blade Show 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Protective zippered pouch, leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David and Andrea Lisch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43952302129239,"sku":"MM-DL-CSTM-RNCHHND","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0010\/5578\/4988\/files\/DavidLisch_Custom_RanchHand_FixBlade_1.jpg?v=1783526097","url":"https:\/\/www.newwestknifeworks.mom\/products\/david-lisch-custom-ranch-hand-fix-blade","provider":"New West KnifeWorks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
