ABOUT

I am Darren Porter.  Welcome to my site, I hope you enjoy what you see and contact me if you have any questions.

I have always had a passion for knives.Since High School I have wanted to make knives.  Finally in 2015 my dream became a reality.  I started with making knives with files and then I built my own belt grinder which has made my knife making take a serious leap forward.  I also make the accessories for knives such as sheathes and wooden boxes.

I am a keen hunter and a good knife is essential.  This is why the bulk of my knives so far are hunters or skinners.  I am able and willing to try most knife designs.  As yet I do not make folders, but I will be venturing into these interesting knives in the future

ME
MY KNIVES

I use mostly N690 Stainless Steel, I also use High Carbon Tool Steel.  For bigger chopping type knives I use 5160 steel.  I sharpen all my knives to an edge that will shave my arm hair easily.

Handle material is totally up to the new owner, I prefer natural materials but will make any handle you can desire within reason and availability.

Team?

I am a one man team.  I do have support from my wife.  But all work is done by my own hands.

Why do custom knives cost so much
