The process

Function Specific

IMG_5160.JPG

Dentist by trade, fly fisherman, hunter, and maker by passion. Valentine Knife Co. started with my desire to create one of a kind knives suited to the outdoors. I take tremendous pride in my work and I want people to feel a connection to the knives I make. Put them to work! Handmade. Sharp.

Each knife begins with a specific task in mind. The steel is selected then forged, ground, and finished to that task. Handle shape is purpose driven and materials are selected based on toughness and beauty.
