Ever since he was a kid, if Ken needed a knife he just made one. His first one was built from a saw blade at the kitchen table using a vise, files and sandpaper.

A new-fashioned twist on a classic carry. Available in a limited run, the A.P.C. (Always. Pocket. Carry.) is an updated take on the classic slip joint folding knife. Created by seasoned knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, the A.P.C. is crafted from premium materials—like M390 blade steel and a handsome Fat Carbon Dark Matter handle—with an improved slip joint design that prevents galling and reduces the overall weight of the knife. The traditional details, like the nail nick for easy opening, are complemented by its high tech features that make it lightweight, compact, and ready for action.

  A.P.C.  (Always. Pocket. Carry.)

A classic with a tough edge. The name Kova™ springs from Finnish origin, meaning “tough, hard, or demanding a lot of effort to endure.” Designed by veteran knife designer, Ken Steigerwalt, the front lock folding knife’s strength and durability isn’t just in the name, it’s how it rises to face everyday tasks and challenges.

Kova™ Front Lock

Familiar. Just like an old friend. The Kith is designed by veteran knifemaker Ken Steigerwalt, who takes inspiration from traditional midlock joints and backlock folders to create a whole new approach with his front lock design. Intuitively constructed, opening the blade feels second-nature, giving this knife’s Old English name for “friend” a whole other meaning.

Kith Front Lock

Reimagined to reignite your passion for knives. The Ignitor™ proves there’s power in simplicity. The elegant shape of this folding knife, with the handle’s deep finger choil and reassuring pommel, will feel right at home in your hand—but it also hides impressive performance beneath the surface. Now with assisted opening and IKBS™ bearings, just press down on the flipper and watch the blade spring to life. This standard version of the Ignitor™ comes with a 3.8-inch, drop-point blade made of high-carbon stainless steel that takes an edge well.

Ignitor® Assisted

The perfect blend of form and function. The Ignitor™ is built around the same elegant frame as the standard version, with a deep finger choil and reassuring pommel that will feel right at home in your hand. But the new iteration adds even more versatility. It still uses fast Assisted Opening, smooth IKBS bearings, and easy-to-sharpen, high-carbon steel, but the 3.5-inch drop-point blade is now coated for corrosion resistance and features Veff Serrations™ to cut through rope and other fibrous material.
