My name is James Cox, and I have been making knives for about ten years. I work with a purpose in mind, my knives must always perform as if they will be relied upon to save the user’s life at any moment. Failure is not an option, and performance is non negotiable.
All of my knives are hand made, by me and only me. I forge carbon steels, and I also work with stainless and “super” steels.
I have spent most of my life hunting, fishing, and exploring wilderness, backcountry areas, and as such I have an intimate understanding of what is necessary in a working knife.
I have been using a knife my entire life, from whittling, to grafting trees, foraging wild edibles, skinning and butchering game, to clearing fields of brush and bamboo with a machete, and the kitchen.
