ABOUT | My Site

My name is Chase Boatright. I am the owner/operator of Boatright Bladeworks. I make all my knives by-hand in a small shop in Alabama. Anyone that knows me, knows that I have always loved knives so this is very much my dream job. I strive to constantly improve my craft, and I hope that you enjoy my work.

I have been making knives for almost three years now. I finished my first complete knife in December of 2019, although I started trying to make knives in 2016. Since September 3, 2022, knife making is my full time job. Before that, I worked for McNees Knives for almost 3 years. While I worked for him I made knives part-time.

Fun fact about my logo and knife names. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Geography from Jacksonville State University. My logo includes a nautical compass rose as a reference to this and my last name as well. Also, most of my knife names are from landforms or land features.

Orders: No traditional order book BUT if you see something of mine you like, feel free to contact me and we can work together to make it come to life. Otherwise I will sell what I make via Instagram or through dealers.

Warranty: My knives are guaranteed against defects in craftsmanship and to stand up to normal use. If a problem arises, I will work with you to fix or replace the knife.
