As of June 14th 2024, CK KNIFE AND TOOL is temporarily closed for custom knife orders until further notice.  Whatever knives are listed as "Homeless" are available to ship as is any Generals Hot Sauces, CKKT mugs and apparel.  Please be patient as my family and I deal with our loss.

Welcome to CK Knife and Tool, where our primary objective is to consistently achieve a high level of customer satisfaction with the knives we create.  This straightforward philosophy has been instrumental in propelling our growth.  From humble beginnings as a hobbyist, I've transitioned into a full-time knife maker and YouTuber.

 

The journey of building a knife business and a YouTube channel has been quite something and I would like to first say thank you to everyone that has been following along on this journey.  I would also like to extend my appreciation to those that are still showing support for me as well as other small businesses throughout America.  It's the little things that mean a great deal.

*** ABOUT ME ***

2390155A-0DBF-4F1A-8F74-D2D3546D2362_edi

I'm a U.S. Marine Veteran and a former Law Enforcement Officer.  I began making knives back in 2014 when my good friend and mentor, Jeff Conti first walked me through the process.  After my first knife, it just went crazy.  Knife after knife I just kept making, practicing and designing.  Staying true to what I was taught, "Form follows function", and to not get caught up in all the gimmicks and fads surrounding the knife world.  

 

Now, 9 years later my family and I have left the Pacific Northwest and rooted ourselves here in Gillette, Wyoming.  After spending most of 2021 moving and rebuilding CK Knife and Tool I now am in the process to become Wyoming's premier knife maker.

 

But besides making knives and running a successful YouTube channel, I have become an Ambassador for the Made in America Movement.

​

Please take a look at the knives I have made to-date as well as checking out my YouTube channel for customer knives, gear and tools as well as a more personal look into who and what CK Knife and Tool is.

​

Thanks,

Chad
