I know fidleback forge and another fixed blade maker lives in my ne k of the woods(metro atl).

The most excellent Southern Grind also calls GA home!

Good to know. Thank you. :thumbup:

I like Lon Humphrey's knives, also made here in Ohio.

Warther knives are the only maker I could think of in Ohio.

 

[BigDeeeeeeee]

Chris Reeve, Grant and Gavin Hawk, and Scott Cook all come to mind.

I just recently found out Les Voorhies is located in Minnesota.

I would say Ruana. The family has been at it for quite a while.

Yes! How could I forget. I can't wait to see what other folders they put out. It will only be a matter of time before I start throwing money at them.

I recall quite a few knifemakers in the Ozarks, not many others with the name recognition of Bob Dozier though.

Is Mcgrew is still in business in Glenwood? I don't think they made any knives themselves, but they were (are?) stamped ARK. USA. Camillus and Imperial and/or Colonial made their knives.
I also see a McCoy knife company in Mt Ida (I spent a lot of time there), but the knives look like Bear & Son products.

Todd Begg makes some beautiful knives here in California.

 

[K.O.D.]

You would have to be an absolute idiot to try and manufacture knives in Illinois. You'd be closed down faster than you can say corruption.
