When I was new to the SWAT team in the city of Phoenix, I was fortunate enough to have a lot of friends in the military and tactical industry.  One of them introduced me to Strider Knives, and oh man did I want one! But the paycheck of a new SWAT officer, a wife that was a part time teacher, a new baby and a new home didn’t exactly lend itself to spending $500 on a blade.  So I figured, what the heck, I know how to make stuff…I’m sure I can make a knife.

That was the moment MilMak Blades came into this world… With my mission to create hand crafted quality knives build to be passed on for generations to come, and with pricing accessible to everyone.
