Treeman Knives

The Treeman Knives Workshop

July 20, 2008

Below are some photos of Dad and I in our shop, with knives in various stages of completion. This is an old school style knife shop with very basic technology. All design, creativity, and innovation flow from our fingertips. We work hard to constantly improve our product. If there is one constant around the shop, it is that everything is always in a state of progression. From the handle material, to spacer colors, design influences, to a new buffing wheel, we're always looking for a better, sharper, stronger, cleaner finished knife.

Every knife we make gets the same care and respect. We like to think that they have a sort of soul or character that connects with a guy. We are striving to make a knife that will be passed down through generations of people that truly appreciate the necessity of a handmade, handforged knife. To create something that is made in the US and not by a third world country for a nickel an hour. And made by guys who do not need to be part of a club to sell knives, or follow a set of rules. We believe in using only the highest quality materials, from hand picking our premium sambar stag to artifact fossil ivory and naturally stabilized shed antler from across the United States. We make what we believe is the best knife out there. The kind of knives that work as well as they look and feel. The kind of knives people will write books about and tell stories to their kids about.

Thanks,
JR
