For over 25 years, my wife Inessa and I, TC, have devoted ourselves to the art of hand-forging knives. What began as a shared passion has blossomed into a legacy of crafting exceptional, functional works of art. Every Dust Bowl Knives piece is 100% handmade, hand-forged, sharpened, and polished right here in Green Country, Oklahoma - each one a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

I personally oversee every aspect of each knife's creation, ensuring not only its beauty but also its balance and ergonomic precision. From start to finish, I meticulously sharpen and polish each blade using natural Japanese whetstones, prized for their ability to create a razor-sharp edge and mirror-like finish. These same whetstones, cherished for their quality, are also available for purchase through Dust Bowl Knives. For those passionate about learning the craft, we offer sharpening and forging workshops and classes, sharing my techniques with enthusiasts of all skill levels.

Inessa's contribution to our work is equally profound. Her masterful forging techniques and dedication to quality ensure that every blade is as durable as it is beautiful. She also crafts each knife's unique handle and hand-stitches leather sheaths, enhancing both the aesthetic and functionality of every knife.

Together, we've earned a reputation for creating knives that go beyond tools—they become treasured heirlooms, passed down through generations. Our pursuit of excellence is reflected in every curve, line, and detail of our handcrafted knives.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, a Dust Bowl Knives creation is an investment in functional art that will last a lifetime.

Our passion, dedication, and commitment to quality define who we are and what we create.
