My goal is to make one-of-a-kind artistic and functional knives that you, as a collector, will be proud to acquire. I strive to achieve superior results in design, material selection, mechanical function and execution.

Color and texture are the recognizable features of my work. Since I relish the challenges involved in creating a properly functioning mechanism within a visually balanced and flowing design., the major portion of my current work is folding knives, either liner locks or lockbacks. My prices reflect the cost of materials, size of the knife and amount of work and ornamentation.

The materials that I use are the best available and are carefully selected. For blades I primarily use stainless Damascus and ATS 34 steels. Choices for handles include mammoth ivory, pearl, stainless steel, titanium and exotic wood. Ornamentation may include filework and silver, gold and gemstones. I often collaborate with internationally known engravers and scrimshanders such as Tim George, Lisa Tomlin, John Stahl and Linda Karst Stone.

Orders are welcome and I am always pleased to work with you to create a knife that will meet your expectations and perhaps become a family heirloom.

On this website you will find more information about me and pictures of my recent work as well as any knives currently available for purchase.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a specific design, please call or email me. No deposit is required. When your knife is completed, I will notify you and, upon receipt of payment, ship it. I hope that you'll consider making a Hitchmough knife part of your collection.
