POST FALLS, ID— Buck Knives, Inc., a well-recognized brand and global leader in the outdoor, sporting, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, also offers a rarity in today’s knife manufacturing arena—the opportunity for a customer to create a custom knife. The company’s Custom Knife Shop employs seven highly-skilled craftsmen who have more than 145 years of combined knife building experience. Those craftsmen build customer’s knives one project at a time when orders are received.

An order placed with the Custom Knife Shop within Buck Knives’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Post Falls, Idaho generally takes about six to eight weeks from the time the order is received to when the customer’s knife is inspected, packaged and shipped. While S30V steel is a popular blade steel, the Custom Knife Shop online order form permits shoppers to select other blade steels, along with many blade shapes and coatings. Customers placing orders can also choose between brass and nickel accents, or aluminum or brass pommels and guards. Another difficult decision will be selecting handles with available materials including: shockwood, black palm wood, walnut, ironwood, water buffalo, oak, blue wood, cherry wood, jig bone or the stunning elk. Along with the knife being built is often an opportunity to select a sheath to carry the one-of-a-kind masterpiece knife.

Another way to personalize a knife is engraving. Customers can add names and dates to the knives they purchase. Psst, there may still be time to order a knife with engraving in time for Father’s Day delivery. For shoppers who want to order a fully-customized knife from the Custom Knife Shop in time for Father’s Day, a certificate with full details about the knife being built can also be obtained to present to the knife’s recipient.

In case you are wondering, yes, the Custom Shop at Buck Knives also continues to build Bowie knives. Through the Shop is the only way to purchase this popular knife and buyers again can select from numerous features to include blade finishes and handles. While definitely not as old as the Bowie knife design, the Custom Knife Shop has been an option within Buck Knives since 1981.
