Why Purchase a Hand Crafted Knife?

The main reason for purchasing a hand crafted knife, instead of a mass produced knife is that it is a unique one-off item - much like an oil painting or a hand sewn dress. There will be slight differences between knives and this makes them unique and special. Some handle material like birdseye maple infused with coloured resin are special in their own rite and no two handles will be the same.

If someone is making something as a craft, it has most likely be made with care and pride. By spending so much time crafting an item the crafter leaves something of themselves in the piece.

Where knife making is concerned, hand crafted is how it was done traditionally, so there is some there may be some historical nostalgic reasons for choosing one.

Some makers offer personalisation so a person’s details can be engraved on the blade. Game Valley Knives provides an initialing service where the customer can permanently add their initials to the blade. This provides even more meaning and ownership of the knife.

They make a unique and special present for a first knife for a young person, a special birthday, or to commemorate their first deer or goat.
