The Detroit Knife Company LLC is a small business that designs, grinds and hand make knives using the bar stock removal method. Because each knife is handmade – and not mass produced from a factory in China – you may find your knife has a minor blemish or two. Nothing impacting the performance of your knife, but rather added “artistic character” you might say and a reminder your knife is made by hand and not by robots. Our knives are built with a purpose, utility driven, and task oriented – They may look nice, but they are intended to be used!
Our designs have an identity long engrained in history and reengineered to bring time tested knife blades and materials to the modern age. Blade designs are based on classic French, Japanese and Western knives, with a modern age flare.
