I grew up hunting, fishing, and playing outdoors in the woods and fields of northern Indiana. Whether I was building forts, whittling spears or walking sticks, or cutting open the packaging on my new BB Gun, I always had a need for humanity’s oldest tool. From the age of six, you couldn’t find me without a knife at my side. Over the years my appreciation and love for the art of the blade grew, so I started Josh Harley Custom Knives to share that passion with others.

In today’s throwaway society, we live in a world of mass-produced factory made knives. Planned obsolescence and generic conformity are the name of the game. It can be difficult to figure out what knife to buy. Will it work for the application I have in mind? Will it hold up? How long will it hold an edge? Am I really getting my money’s worth? You don’t have to worry about any of that when you purchase a genuine Josh Harley Custom Knife. I use CPM 154 and Magnacut stainless steel and blend time tested materials with the latest in modern technology to ensure that the knives I produce will last for generations to come.

For a general overview of the steel and other materials I use, to learn more about my process, and to discover the value packed into each Josh Harley Custom Knife, check out the “Information” tab at the top of the page.
