Ancient Materials, Modern Masterpieces
Inside Our Custom Pocket Knives
Custom maker Jordan Welch takes us deep into the rare and remarkable materials behind our custom pocket knives. From ancient mammoth tusk and molar, to coral stabilized with resin, to the layered beauty of Detroit automotive agate, each knife blends history, craftsmanship, and art.
Jordan also shows off something truly wild: swordfish bill, a new addition to his material library that polishes like antler and adds one-of-a-kind character to each piece.
These knives aren’t just built to perform—they are crafted to connect the past to the present in your hand. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at how Jordan transforms ancient relics into modern masterpieces.
