Red Harvest Handmade Knives

Forged one at a time in southeastern Kentucky

Every knife that leaves this shop was shaped, ground, fitted and sharpened by one pair of hands. There is no production run and no second batch of the same knife.

Ordering

How buying one works

There is no shopping cart here on purpose. Knives sell as fast as they come off the bench, so every order is confirmed by hand before any money changes hands.

  1. 01

    One knife, confirmed

    What is listed here is what exists. Every order is confirmed by hand before anything is charged.

  2. 02

    A straight answer

    Made to order means the price and an honest timeline come first, before any steel is cut.

  3. 03

    Pay by invoice

    An invoice comes by email and takes a card, or send a check or money order.

  4. 04

    It ships insured

    Boxed, insured and sent with a signature required. Tracking follows the same day.

The maker

A one man shop

Red Harvest is one person working out of a shop in southeastern Kentucky. Every knife is made start to finish by the same hands, which is the reason there is rarely anything in stock.

When a knife is finished it goes up here, and it usually does not stay up long. If the one you want is gone, the next one can be built to suit you instead.

Questions

Worth knowing first

Do you keep knives in stock?

Rarely. Most knives are spoken for before they are finished, and whatever is genuinely available is listed on this page.

If nothing is listed, the next one can be made for you.

Can I have one made to order?

Yes. Handle material, blade shape and size are all yours to choose, and you get a price and a timeline before anything starts.

No two come out the same, so a made to order knife is quoted on its own.

How do I pay?

An invoice comes by email once the order is confirmed. It takes any major card, or you can send a check or money order instead.

Nothing is charged until the knife is confirmed as yours.

How does it ship?

Insured, with a signature required, anywhere in the United States. Buyers must be 18 or older.

International orders are handled one at a time, since blade laws vary by country.
