Welcome to Ray Rogers Handcrafted Knives! This website will introduce you to my custom knives and show you the techniques and processes used to make them.

I specialize in liner lock folders and professional chef's knives but I also make a few sporting knives. My knives are made one at a time to the customer's order. I am happy to consider customizing my knife designs to suit your preferences and sometimes create entirely new knives when necessary. As a full time knifemaker I am willing to spend as much time as it takes (usually through email) discussing the options and refining details of a knife's design to insure that you get the knife you really want. There is no charge for this - I have nothing but time!

If you are trying to get started making your own knives, this website will provide all the information you will need.
