Letter from the President

A person's choice of outdoor gear, especially that of hunters and fishermen, is a source of personal pride and satisfaction. That doesn't mean you must have the most expensive gun, rod, knife, boots, or whatever, but the gun should be clean, well maintained, and accurate. Your knife should shave, and hopefully the boots will be well broken-in before tackling a major extended hunt. As outfitters in Alaska, we have guided hunters and fishermen into the Alaskan bush for years. One fact is - and has always been -  each man's gear is going to play a major role in determining his success, comfort, and enjoyment.

At Knives of Alaska, we understand what it means to rely on your gear. We've never lost sight of the fact that the knife of a dedicated hunter, fisherman or outdoorsman has two important aspects. First, and most important, it is a precision tool that must perform the task at hand efficiently, safely, and reliably time after time, year after year. Second, a man's knife is an investment and one of his personal objects of pride. It is a measuring stick among his peers.

We make award-winning outdoorsman's knives that are used and respected by some of the best professional guides and outfitters, hunters, and other outdoorsmen in Alaska, and across the globe. To say that our knives are field-tested is an understatement. We carry them across Southeast Alaska's glacier fields, through swamps, across tundra, and in the mountains, using them in all manner of chores. If something doesn't work, it gets corrected or eliminated in a hurry!

All of our knives, from our new line of folders to our award winning cleavers, our hatchets, combination sets, and fixed blade hunters, are quality outdoor cutlery for the self-reliant outdoorsman who demands the very best in his gear. It doesn't matter if you're hunting whitetails in a local woodlot or after a big Alaskan brown bear, your gear will still be one of the things that sets you apart and makes the hunt more enjoyable. Our promise to you is that our lifetime guaranteed knives are made to exacting quality standards that will ensure satisfaction and pride of ownership. They work for us in the harsh field conditions of bush Alaska-and they will work for you, time after time, year after year-wherever you hunt or fish.

Thank you for your confidence in our products. Enjoy the great outdoors and be sure to take a youngster hunting and fishing with you.

Charles Allen,

President and Owner

What They're Saying
I just bought a Handmade Series knife. The certificate of ownership was dated Aug. 28, 1998, so it has been in the stores display case a long time. The bone handle had some greenish discoloration and bone deterioration from sitting so many years. I was told by Knives of Alaska to send the knife in for warranty. My knife came back from and looks great. Thanks very much for the speedy and thorough warranty service. I really appreciate the follow-up. Knives of Alaska really do stand behind their quality products.

Thank you for your best quality knife products and customer care and satisfaction. Knives of Alaska are the only knife I will purchase and recommend to others for gifts and personal need. The knives get a workout in my elk, deer, and goose hunting and processing for the freezer, great knives!

Best Knives I have ever used, worth every penny.

During the 2003 deer season here in North Dakota, I used the Bush Camp Knife to field dress 9 deer which included slicing through 9 rib cages and 9 pelvic bones in addition to normal inviceration and hide work of field dressing. The blade performed flawlessly, and after simple washings with mild soap and hot water was still able to shave the hair on my arm every single time. Neither stone nor steel were needed to restore the edge.

"I purchased your Elk Hunter today in Fairbanks. When I asked was the knife the Alaskans most frequently carried into the field, he said without hesitation, "Knives of Alaska". I used the Elk hunter to butcher my bear. I've used several knives in the past to clean game, and your Elk Hunter was the best. It is corrosion resistant, easy to handle with slippery hands, held an excellent edge during the entire process, and was easy to sharpen. Thank you for a great product."
