Empire Outfitters carries one of the largest selections of custom knives available online. Every knife in this collection is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece crafted by skilled makers from across the United States and around the world — from established legends to rising talents pushing the craft forward.

Whether you're a serious collector adding to a curated rotation or picking up your first custom folder, you'll find knives here built with premium blade steels like CPM-S35VN, M390, Damasteel, and Chad Nichols Damascus, paired with handle materials ranging from titanium and zirconium to carbon fiber, natural wood, and G10.

From tactical folders and EDC workhorses to dress knives and collectible fixed blades, we carry handmade knives built with premium blade steels like CPM-S35VN, M390, Damascus, Elmax, and CPM-20CV — finished with handle materials ranging from titanium and carbon fiber to zirconium, micarta, and exotic hardwoods.

We work directly with over 320 custom knife makers including Sergey Rogovets, Mick Strider, Tom Mayo, Sean O'Hare, Pohan Leu, Borka Blades, Peter Rassenti, Olamic Cutlery, and many more. Every knife we sell is in hand — what you see is what ships. No preorders, no waitlists.

Empire Outfitters has been a trusted source for custom knives since 2010. We're a family-run business built on personal relationships with makers and collectors. Every order ships free in the USA, and we offer layaway on high-value pieces so you can secure the knife you want.

Whether you're adding to a serious collection or picking up your first custom blade, you'll find something here that was made to be carried, used, and passed down.
