About us

For 13+ years, Custom Knife Factory (CKF) has been creating premium knives that combine distinctive design, precision manufacturing, advanced materials, and uncompromising attention to detail.
Since its early days, CKF has been among the brands pushing the boundaries of the mid-tech and high-end production knife market. Over the years, CKF were among the first to introduce many ideas, materials, finishes, manufacturing approaches, and design solutions that later became familiar across the industry.
Each CKF knife is developed in collaboration with talented designers and produced with close attention to geometry, mechanics, ergonomics, fit and finish. Titanium, premium blade steels, carbon fiber, exotic materials, complex machining and meticulous hand finishing come together in knives made to be used, carried, appreciated and collected. We don't rush with the knives, releasing five new designs every month. Every knife we create is the result of countless hours of thought, refinement, and hard work. As we like to say, every single one carries a small piece of our soul.
From compact everyday folders to ambitious limited-edition projects, CKF has spent years experimenting, evolving and refusing to make boring knives.
Today, that philosophy remains unchanged: original design, excellent action, precise construction, premium materials and character in every project.
We work and have collabs with many famous designers: Rotten Design, Bob Terzuola, Anthony Marfione, Peter Rassenti, Tashi Bharucha, Philippe Jourget, GTK Knives, Mikkel Willumsen, Tuff Knives, SNECX, Matthew Christensen, Gavko Knives, Kombou, Jake Hoback, Anton Malyshev, Alexey Konygin, David Lespect, Pavel Poznyakov, Allen Elishewitz, Nalu Boersma, Jens Anso.
We make knives in China, in the best ever workshop that works only for CKF. For the last 13 years we have been working never outsourcing things to well-known OEMs like dozens of makers and brands. We never worked with Re*te, We K*ife, K*nwu, B*stech, K*zer or whatever. Since 2013 many things changed, we updated the machines and improved quality dramatically, we made 50+ well-known successful designs and won't stop, many great collabs to come.
All our knives are different. Limited. Numbered. People say we make one of the best production/customized folding knives and EDC stuff in the World. And we are still small family business.
In August 2021, we moved with family and opened BestBlades.EU in Europe (Slovakia) by the numerous requests of our European Clients. Our products have become closer to Customers, delivery and payment are faster and more convenient.
