Why spend the money for a custom knife?

A top-quality custom knife is crafted by a person who knows knives. Not only does the knifemaker understand how to build a knife the right way, they know what makes a knife great -- design, steel, heat treating, balance, ergonomics and lots more. Also, there's an attention to detail that's become rare in today's mass-production world.

We'd like to debunk a common misconception about handmade custom knives:"Custom" isn't the same thing as "museum piece" or "fragile." The customs we sell are built to be used, no matter how beautiful, ornate or rare they may be.

Sure, a custom can be more expensive. You have to determine whether or not it's worth it to you -- but we'll bet that once you have a custom knife in your hands, you'll agree that there's nothing quite like it.
