The Why

   This map was made for two purposes:

1.      For new makers to find possible nearby mentors in their area.

2.      For collectors to find local makers to support.

  • Makers listed on this map may or may not be willing to help you. They decide who, when, how, and IF they allow people to come into their shop. They have a right to privacy, you are entitled to nothing.

  • Do not pester your local knife makers. If they are not interested, don’t take it personally and leave them alone.

  • The points and coordinates of the knife makers on this map have been falsified slightly to protect makers from unwanted trespassers. If you want to visit their shop, contact them first and wait for a response.

  • Contact information has been left off this map because it is easy enough to find that information if you need to do so. A quick google search will usually find a website, Facebook, Instagram, or other form of contact info. If you can’t find it, then that probably means that the maker prefers it that way.

  •  This map is a labor of love for me. I am not getting paid in any way by anybody. I hope this map will be received in the spirit of which it was made.

  • Lastly, this map is a constant work in progress; I am only one person, but I try to find new makers to add to the list as often as possible. If you are a knife maker or know of a knife maker or knife company that is not on the list and wishes to be, please let me know using my email: chaseboatright51@gmail.com.

Best Regards,
