I am a full-time custom knife maker -- hand made knives have been my specialty for 15 years.   You can have a hand-made knife similar to those shown on this site -- or have a knife made to your own design.

Browse my Online Catalog for samples of the custom hand-made folding and fixed blade knives I have made for others, plus a listing of our in-stock knives.  For your convenience, you can order online or submit a request for quotation for a design of your own.

Each of my knives is made with care and attention to detail.  Blades are made of  ATS-34 stainless steel, A2 tool steel, or 1095 high-carbon steel -- you can choose the steel that you want in your custom knife.  Other steel is available on special order. Learn more about how knives are made by visiting my Custom Knifemaking section; you’ll be impressed with the care, craftsmanship and quality that is put into every knife made at Southwest Bladecraft.

All of my knives are hand ground, hand sanded, hand polished, and are heat treated in my digitally controlled inert gas kiln, followed by sub-zero quenching.  My blades are hardness tested, and certified by Southwest Bladecraft to meet customer requirements. 

A certificate of authenticity accompanies each knife when the knife is shipped.  This certificate contains a color picture of the knife, a full description, and carries my signature.  Thank you for visiting my site -- I hope you like what your see.

Wander through the Products section to get your imagination flowing, and imagine owning one of my fine hand-crafted knives.
