How it all started
Built in Arkansas.
Made to work.
CW Knives began with a simple expectation: a knife should feel right, cut clean, and earn its place every time it’s picked up.
Craig Wood grew up in Arkansas around hunting, fishing, and real-world use. Over time, he noticed the gap between knives that look impressive and knives that actually perform day after day.
So he started building his own—refining balance, grind, and finish until the knife felt natural in the hand and dependable in use.
The same standard applies to the leatherwork. A knife isn’t finished until it carries correctly, comfortably, and securely.
