Kershaw Knives

"Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own, carry, and use. This has meant that every Kershaw knife must be of the highest quality. Whether it’s a hardworking pocketknife, a hunting knife, or a special collectors’ edition, Kershaw always chooses appropriate, high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship. Along with extremely tight tolerances and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, this ensures that Kershaw knives provide a lifetime of performance. Kershaw pioneered the use of many of the technologies and advanced materials that are today standard in the knife industry. Our SpeedSafe assisted opening knives were first-to-market. We introduced the concept of knives with interchangeable blades in our Blade Traders. Recently, our Composite Blade technology, which combines two steels into one blade, gives knife users the best of both worlds by enabling us to use steel known for edge retention on the edge and steel known for strength on the spine. And we will keep on innovating, bringing new and better technologies and materials to today's knifemaking industry and knife-using public." He is also a Journeyman Smith in the ABS!

Rigid Knives

Rigid Knives have an interesting history! The brand was started in the early 1970s by a few knife makers who were previously working for Buck Knives1. They decided to branch off and start their own company with their own designs. The original Rigid knives were semi-custom knives made by two individuals working together1. These knives were known for being overbuilt and durable, often referred to as "tanks". The venture was short-lived, lasting only a few years. Since then, the Rigid brand has been used by various manufacturers in the USA and Japan1. The original Rigid knives are considered the true Rigid knives, and they are highly sought after by collectors today The original Rigid Knives, made by the founders Bill Duff and Don Collum, included several models. Some of the notable ones are: 1. R-9 Apache: A bowie knife with engraving. 2. RG-1: Made in Japan. 3. RG-23: Also made in Japan. 4. R-19 Razorback: A fixed blade knife. 5. Ripper: Another fixed blade knife. These knives were known for their durability and overbuilt design, often referred to as "tanks." They are highly sought after by collectors today
