We love knives.
We are a South African father son duo, using forging and stock removal techniques to make knives.
We provide a variety of different options and combinations for our custom knives, ranging from different steel and handle materials to pins and finishing techniques.
Through the use of materials such as stainless steel, Damascus and mosaic, we can produce a one of a kind custom knife that is unique to your needs and design.
Each Harker Custom Knife contains an HCK Logo and branding and is accompanied by a custom-made leather sheath.
