Est. 2018
Officially, KN Knives was established in 2018, but really began
long before that time.
​
With a passion for excellence, skills development, the outdoors and all things with sharp edges, the creation of KN Knives was a very natural process that unfolded over a number of years.
​
Growing up, Kyle almost always had a knife in pocket, or a tool in hand. During his early adult years, much of his time was spent in one of two places: in the backcountry with a knife and axe, or at a workbench.
Long before building premium handcrafted knives, Kyle was whetstone sharpening professionally for clients all over the world. Many of those treasured customers would also begin to seek knife and tool restoration work, repairs, and leatherwork.
​
Before KN Knives, Kyle was offering full service knife and tool repair and restoration, from treasured antique family heirlooms, to modern high-end customs.
​
​
The progression was natural.
In 2018, after gathering all of the right skills and experience,
KN Knives was born,
in a little, grimy, unheated workshop in rural Newfoundland.
Since that time, KN Knives has moved through a couple of different workshops, until January 2023 when we found our permanent home, in a little town called Middle Arm, NL.
KN Knives has now grown into a 4000 sqft. mountain-top paradise overlooking the Atlantic ocean, serving our wonderful customers from all over the world.
