ABOUT US

Off-Grid Knives® is a family-owned American company that prides itself on crafting high-quality knives accessible at various price points. Our range includes rugged, durable EDC folders and fixed blades, all made with premium materials for longevity and exceptional craftsmanship. We design our knives in-house and collaborate with trusted, seasoned manufacturers to bring our visions to life. As a lean operation, we minimize overhead costs, allowing us to deliver great value directly to you, our customer, without the need for intermediaries. You can find our products exclusively on offgridknives.com and Amazon. At Off-Grid, we value each customer deeply, offering stellar service that often becomes a highlight in our reviews. We don’t rely on traditional advertising; instead, we count on satisfied customers and word-of-mouth to spread the word about our dependable, top-quality knives.

Metal Complex, who runs a popular YouTube knife review channel with over 650,000 subscribers, captures the essence of Off-Grid Knives brilliantly: "Off-Grid exists on the ledge between hyper-tactical, utilitarian and the modern knife enthusiast world. Off-Grid always manages to do something a little bit different and more fun from what the other knife companies are doing." His insights highlight how Off-Grid uniquely bridges the gap between high-functionality and contemporary knife culture, always adding a distinct twist that sets Off-Grid apart from other brands.

Our mission at Off-Grid Knives is simple: we want to add serious value to your collection. When you pick up one of our knives, we hope you'll say, "this feels like a knife twice the cost"—and that's exactly what our customers are telling us. Just check out our reviews; Off-Grid customers are putting us on the same level as big names like Benchmade, Zero Tolerance, SOG, Tops, Spyderco and others. We're all about crafting top-notch knives at various price points, whether you're into premium materials like MagnaCut, M390 and Titanium or more budget-friendly options like D2 and G10.

Choosing Off-Grid means you're part of the family. We're here for you 24/7 with old-school customer service. Got a problem? We've got you covered, always. Plus, you’re locked in with our Lifetime Replacement Guarantee once you register.

A bit of personal backstory—I've been sketching knife designs for years, never really thinking I’d make a career out of it. But in 2016, I took a leap of faith, quit my day job, and launched Off-Grid Knives with just one knife and a tactical pen. Fast forward to today, and we’ve got over 80 knives and counting, all thanks to the support of our incredible customers. So, a huge THANK YOU!

We’re also proud to give back, supporting Homes for Our Troops and COPS (Concerns Of Police Survivors), and offering service discounts to US Military, Law Enforcement, and other frontline heroes. We even supply knives to the US Border Patrol and other government agencies.

Hear it from Don G. from the US Border Patrol in San Diego: "Thank you for your amazing customer service and for offering rugged, well-made products for those of us who rely on them every day. When I go into the field, I know I can count on my Off-Grid folders and fixed blades. That peace of mind is invaluable."

So, if you haven’t yet, why not give Off-Grid a shot? Join the family, add an Off-Grid knife to your EDC, and see why our fans are customers for life.

Stay Sharp,

FAQ

Where are your knives made?
Many of our knives, including all fixed blades, are crafted in Taiwan, by a production partner known for their work with brands like Ka-Bar, SOG, and Kershaw. Our Elite Series knives such as Black Mamba V3 and Scorpion Series are produced by Bestech in China as well as some other designs. Both Bestech and our Taiwanese partners maintain strict quality controls and are committed to building top-tier knives at fair prices. While we’ve explored manufacturing in the USA, it hasn’t been feasible to meet our pricing goals without compromising the quality our customers expect.  Nick Shabazz, a knife reviewer on YouTube with 166,000 subs said it best "Quality is about effort rather than geography."

What is the meaning and origin of your logo?
Our logo features a house or shelter with a window shaped like the USA flag, surrounded by sharp spikes symbolizing protection, independence, and self-reliance—core values of the Off-Grid lifestyle. We've adorned it with seven stars to enhance its patriotic vibe, embodying our pro-USA stance.

Off-Grid Steel Options:

  • MagnaCut Steel: We are thrilled to introduce MagnaCut steel in our Elite Series, specifically in the Mamba V3. MagnaCut offers exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and remarkable toughness. It's the ideal steel for users seeking a blend of traditional resilience and advanced metallurgical capabilities.

  • Cryo D2 Steel: Known for its toughness and edge retention due to its high carbon content, D2 steel is our go-to for several knife lines like the Backcountry V2 and Rapid Fire Series.

  • BÖHLER M390: Recognized as a “Super Steel,” M390 is renowned for its corrosion resistance and edge sharpness, featured in our upgraded Scorpion knives.

  • Sandvik 14C28N: A balanced option for those needing sharpness and durability, used in our new Grizzly V2 and Sierra Chef knives, among others.

  • Crucible 154CM: Offering a great mix of toughness, hardness, and corrosion resistance, this steel is increasingly featured in our new designs.
