Pat Crawford and his son Wes are
recognized as leading practitioners of the
bladesmith's craft. Their company, Crawford
Knives, is located in West Memphis,
Arkansas. Pat, a pioneer in the combat
folder genre, has been a member of the
Knifemakers' Guild since 1973. He was
among the first to integrate titanium into
his folders, and to skeletonize his frames
and handles to reduce weight and enhance
the grip of the knife. He uses the stock
removal method, specializing in high-tech,
self-defense tactical folders, favoring different
and unique knives. Crawford handle
materials include wood, ivory, stag horn,
resin impregnated fiber, and other exotic materials which
are available. They also offer options such
as file work, inlays, fancy pen work and
special customer requests. Pat says, "The
reason I make knives is for the personal
satisfaction I receive in being my own
boss, and producing a thing of beauty that
will stand the test of time." Pat and Wes
designed the C/K Dragon,Triumph, and
new Natural series.
