About the Maker
Peña, Enrique
"My name is Enrique Peña and I'm from Laredo Texas. I have always been fascinated with knives since I can recall, especially slip joint knives in traditional patterns. I got introduced to knife making by a local friend (Armando Flores) which helped me get started and made my first knife which was a single blade slip joint in my own shop in late 2005. Later I visited with Bill Ruple and Rusty Preston and they helped me refine my skills. I have become a full time knife maker and look forward to achieving the level of skill of Bill Ruple and Rusty Preston. I mainly make single and double blade slip joints and occasionally single and double blade lock back knives in traditional patterns and currently like to make big folders such as sodbusters, Case bulldogs, Case folding hunters and so on. I like to use natural handle material such as stag and bone and for blade steel I use ATS-34 and CPM154 and 416 and 410 for liners and bolsters."
Hinderer, Rick
In the mid 1980’s Rick Hinderer began his knife making journey making art knives in a small 14′ x 18′ turkey coop with none of the modern amenities, like heat or running water! Art knives are a far cry from the tactical scene which Rick is so deeply entrenched in now. Over the years his meticulous attention to knife design and knife making, coupled with his real world experience as a Fire Fighter / EMT sets him apart from the rest. Rick’s design philosophy is deeply rooted in his experience with using his knives as part of his first responder tools. That catalyst of change from art knives to hard use tactical was after Rick joined the rescue dive team. He really began to look at knives and designs more as hard use tactical tools than works of art. Rick began changing over from old world knife making techniques to modern CNC precision manufacturing. With the combination of designing art knives, and his real world experience as a first responder, this unusual perspective allows him to design hard use tactical folders that are not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but extremely comfortable in the hand. All of Rick’s products are engineered to go the distance when it counts the most whether it be when life is on the line, or you just need a good cutting tool.
