Jason

Founder

My name is Jason Lowe. I do custom forged knives, mid-tech and stock removal. All knives are hand crafted in my shop Jonesborough, Tennessee.

I use high-carbon steels like 80CRV2, 5160, and 8670 for most of the lineup, along with hand-forged Damascus for a few special pieces. Handles come from G10, stabilized wood, antler, and horn, and most knives ship with a kydex or leather sheath built to match.

Why Made to Order

I don't keep a warehouse of finished inventory. When you order a knife, it gets forged for you, which means the piece you receive is genuinely one of a kind, down to the grain of the handle material. It also means lead times are real (usually a few weeks) rather than next-day, and I think that trade-off is worth it for a tool that's meant to last.

What I Make

Camp knives and bowies for the outdoors, hunting knives built for the field, EDC blades small enough to carry every day, and tomahawks and hawks for the folks who want something with a little more history behind it. If you don't see exactly what you're after, reach out, custom commissions are often possible.
