Jim Hammond was the first knifemaker
to work with CRKT, beginning in 1994.
His designs for CRKT folders set new
standards of construction for production
folding knives. After graduation from
Clemson University in 1977, Jim became
a full-time knifemaker, specializing in
military and collector grade tactical
fighters and folders. A Knifemakers' Guild
member since 1978, he is noted for his
exquisite and prized work. His company,
Hammond Knives & Designs, LLC, is in
Arab, Alabama. His favorite pastimes include
golf, travel, and fishing. He holds a
private pilot's license for gliders and has
earned the FAI International Silver Badge
for Soaring. Jim says about knife design:
"Excellence, flair, function—three fundamental
keys of quality I strive for in each
knife, making each aspect a celebration
of style, while maintaining the vision of
a design's purpose and application." He
is the designer of many CRKT products,
including the Hammond A.B.C., all
strong and graceful statements.
