John Ek wanted to contribute to the American war effort during World War II. From his shop in Hamden, Connecticut, Ek built custom knives specifically for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. He even built a knife for the Commander-in-Chief, American President Franklin Roosevelt. Mr. Ek, who also employed disabled Americans, produced six models of knives beginning in 1941. He referred to these knives as “Ek Commando Knives” as they were purpose built for close quarter use that would become a hallmark of the US Marine Raiders, US Army Rangers, First Special Service Force, and Office of Strategic Services’ Operational Groups. To purchase an Ek Commando Knife one had to send in proof of military service. The knives were numbered and a log was kept to tie the number to the owner. Americans have carried Ek Commando Knives in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless other locations in between. John Ek’s knives live on today through Ek Commando Knife as a testament to his ideas, skills, and unflinching patriotism.

"I made my very first knife during a blizzard in December of 2009, when I was snowed in for 5 or 6 days. I don’t know what triggered the idea to go ahead and start making my own blades, but I am glad it happened. After that first one, I couldn’t get myself out of the shop. I didn’t know what I was doing, had no idea what heat treat was or anything like that, I just knew I loved making knives. After I made a few blades, and decided I wanted to take it a step further and making some fancier stuff, I started doing some research online and grabbing some books. I found out that there was a lot more to it than grinding down a piece of steel. With the knowledge I obtained, I started purchasing equipment and materials to make better knives. Since then it has just been progression and trying to make a better knife than the last. In September of 2011 I attended and had a table at my first show, the “USN Gathering III”. At the USN Gathering in 2012, I won the award of “Best New Maker”.
