Aaron Frederick

Aaron Frederick is a young custom knifemaker whose workshop, Frederick Knives, is in West Liberty, Kentucky. He is presently an Ensign on active duty with the U.S. Navy. He began making custom knives in 1993, when he became a student of John W. Smith. He is a member of the American Bladesmith Society and a full member of the Knifemakers’ Guild. His awards include Best Folder at the 2000 Oregon Knife Collectors Show and the Art Boggs Memorial Award at the 2003 Knifemakers’ Guild Show. He is well-known for his custom Damascus folders incorporating exotic handle materials such as ivory and pearl, file work, engraving, and gold fasteners. He says,“In 2001, a friend who was a Marine sniper asked for a smaller knife and I began to design tactical knives for use in the field. Throughout the war, I have made and designed knives for Navy and Marine Corps personnel, and my CRKT knives are widely used as everyday utility knives.”

Current CRKT knives designed by Aaron include:
• B.U.L.L.
