The time it takes to make a custom knife can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the knife. Where a railroad spike knife takes just a little over a day, a custom Bowie knife can take 10 days plus.

We absolutely can help you with choosing your materials and design. We can help you determine the shape of your knife depending on you use for it. We can also explain the different types of handle materials and their different properties. Anything from wood, bone, antler, micarta, leather and many other handle materials are fair game!

Getting your company logo, slogan or whatever you choose etched onto the knife blade or stamped into the leather outdoor sheaths make striking appreciated gifts. Other options such as Hand engraving, custom engraved plates and more are available. Some organizations have opted for serially numbered products to create limited editions. Discounts for groups and businesses are available off of the knives when getting personalized promotional knives. Gift boxes or specialty presentation boxes also available by request for most items. Email us your clear, black and white logo and what quantity or price point you are looking for and we will be happy to quote

ALWAYS – keep your knife in a sheath and when wearing it on your belt. Keep it well back on your thigh so it will not interfere when sitting or kneeling.

ALWAYS – clean and dry your knife after every use. A safe way is to lay the knife blade on a flat surface and wipe one side then the other. Soaking knives in water or in a sink damages the wooden handles and could prove dangerous hidden under suds. Boiled linseed oil applied to dried burl wood and horn handles helps their appearance.

ALWAYS – Keep your knife sharp as a dull knife can be more dangerous to use. Every knife needs sharpening from time to time and after years of cutting all knives need to be reground either by us or someone experienced. Your butcher may suggest someone.

Placing an order as far in advance as possible is encouraged . Usually an order can be completed within two to three weeks depending on how busy the shop is- but it doesn’t hurt to contact us to see if anything can be done sooner.
