Our knives are not just made in America. They are made by true Americans. We make products we can proudly stand behind. Products that people we care about trust at work, in the woods, and in combat. Every knife from Black Knight Blades is hand made by us and each piece is fully functional. If it can’t go directly from an antler chop to a paper slice, it doesn’t leave the shop. We back every one of our knives with a lifetime warranty. 

These are the knives we designed for ourselves to carry every day. They are each iterative, being subtly tweaked over and over based on customer feedback and our own experiences. Sheets of steel and G-10 are first cut to shape. We then heat treat and finish them by hand. This allows us to completely control the quality while still producing large quantities. The heat treat is the most important part of the process. This is what gives the knife its toughness and edge retention. It cannot be done in batches. If knives are heat treated together, there is a high probability that something will go wrong. This causes a common problem we have all unfortunately experienced -- a weak knife that won't hold an edge.

We use 8670 steel. It is traditionally used to make sawmill blades. In sawmills, the blades spin at 9000 fpm as they rip through tree trunks. The blades have to be extremely tough and hold an edge for a long time. With our proprietary heat treat method, 8670 steel is superior in toughness and edge retention while still being affordable.

We use G-10 for our handles. It is known for high strength, low moisture absorption, and chemical resistance. It offers excellent grip and compliments the superior toughness of our steel.
