CUSTOM KNIVES OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY

Years of experience have helped me to deliver supreme results. Accurate blade tempering, precision forging and attentive finish work have been the staples of my custom knives. Every knife that passes through the shop is given the full attention that it needs to be worthy of my maker’s mark. I’m proud of every knife that heads out to the field.

DESIGNED TO OUTLAST

My goal is to create more than just a knife, but a functional piece of art; a knife that will outlast its owner. Only the finest of materials and components are used to create each piece.

WATCH KNIVES COME TO LIFE

Videos are an excellent way to learn and share knowledge. I’m proud to feature almost 100 videos on my YouTube channel. A quick search in the YouTube browser for “Brad Richardson” will bring up my page, or simply click the YouTube icon at the bottom of the website.

WILDERNESS APPROVED

Growing up an avid outdoorsman, I’ve relied on quality knives for as long as I can remember. All of my custom knives are designed from my own experience in the bush, to ensure the best results in the field.

Woodsman Wax is a protective paste that has evolved over the last 5 years to become what it is today. It is a blend of beeswax and natural oils. This homemade recipe is designed to protect, waterproof, condition, clean and add shine to materials such as leather, canvas, wood and steel. Most every knife that leaves our shop has received a nice coat of Woodsman Wax.
