We strive to keep our knifes built with USA made product, however every once in great while we have to stray outside the country for specialty parts that are not practical to develop in house. All of our knife manufacturing follows near the same guidelines and when we start your knife project it becomes the focus of attention until it is ready to ship and then it is on to the next one.

Your building process begins with cutting sections of flat bar stock (High Carbon / D2 / D3/ Tool Steel / Damacus) and then they are put on the CNC Machine and shaped to the outline of your knife blade.  Your builder then takes the shaped blade and puts it in the tumbler to remove the very sharp and rough edges left behind by the machining process.

From the tumbler process the knife is sent off to the Heat-treating Furnace and taken to a temperature of just under 18000 F. for a period of time and cooled in a 1500 oil bath. Following the oil bath your blade is tested for hardness at the handle because this is a destructive test and if the builder is not satisfied then the heating treating process is repeated.

Once the builder is satisfied with your hardness the blade is either placed back on the CNC machine and/or a CNC Surface grinder where it undergoes any final shaping. Once your knife has its final shape it may be hand polish for a uniform appearance. The builder then selects your handle wood and if necessary looking for someone that is not doing anything to glue and press together.

Once your blade handle is assembled and the handle wood is stained and sealed it’s moving on to the Laser room where your serial numbers, knife model and number is engraved on the blade. Following the engraving process, the knife is sent to the inspection where your paperwork is completed. While the inspection work is being completed your builder is picking out a handmade sheath and assembling your gift box to ship.
