One man. One blade at a time.

No factory floor. No production line.

Just a guy who wants to make a great knife for the everyday American

The maker

It started with a need

I'm the maker behind Mountain Man Blades where I create hand finished knives built with Purpose, Character, and Attention to Detail. 

What started as a needing to create something by hand that lasts has grown into a passion for making knives that are meant to be used, carried, and appreciated for years to come. 

Every knife we build is hand finished and we believe these knives shouldn't be just a tool, it should have a sense of personality and craftsmanship that you can see and feel.

Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to turn raw materials into something that's made to last.

How it's made

Forty hours, four stages

Every blade takes the same road: shaped, milled or ground, hardened, and dressed by hand before it earns the stamp.

Profile 01
ProfileThe profile and its features are hand ground or milled, deciding how it cuts and carries.
Grind 02
GrindWe build the scales out with our custom materials such as Burl Wood, Elk Antler, Ram's Horn or production style materials that include G10, Burlap and Carbon Fiber
Heat treat 03
Heat treatTempered to 60-62 HRC, hard enough to hold, tough enough to take abuse
Handle & sheath 04
Handle & sheathScales fit, pinned or bolted, and sharpened then finished off with a a vegetable-tanned leather sheath cut and stitched to the blade or form fitted kydex.

What we stand for

Three rules, no exceptions

Three rules, no exceptions
01
One maker, start to finish
No production line, no second set of hands. Every blade is cut, and finished by the same maker — start to finish.
02
Materials you can trace
U.S steel, Tru-Stone, G10 & Carbon Fiber from other small USA based companies of the highest quality. If we can't tell you where it came from, it doesn't go on a knife.
03
Built to be used
Sharp out of the box, tough enough to pry, and backed for life. Carry it, sharpen it, hand it down — built for the field, not the shelf.

Sourcing

American steel. American hands.

Steel from USA Mills, Burl Wood and Hardware from other small USA based companies of the highest quality. American sourcing where it matters most.

If it fails, we fix it.
That's the whole warranty.

Every blade is backed for life against defects in materials and workmanship. Use it hard. Sharpen it. Pass it down. If something goes wrong, send it back — the man who made it will make it right.
