OUR KNIVES: They say the quality of our knives many other makers would charge at least double for. We call them "production" or "midtech" knives, but want them to be like customs. And many people compare them with custom knives :) We do not copy one old design with slight changes. All our knives are different. Limited. Numbered. Made with Russian and American materials, Austrian steel, best possible machines in the top Chinese workshop ever, finished and customized with assiduous Russian hands. And yes, we are first on market who add additional case, pouch, all little screws, full pivot system, bearings, steel lock insert and even clip to every knife shipped.
LOYALTY PROGRAM: We welcome you to CKF Loyalty program. Check your email after your first order is marked "delivered" in our System. You support us, we support you.
OUR PLANS: Our Clients base is growing constantly and we are not going to stop. More new designs and collaborations are coming. We attend almost in every Knife Show around the World.
