Gary Griffin - Griffin Made Knives

Gary Griffin wears a lot of hats — CEO, Director of Marketing, Production Manager, Head of R&D, HR, impromptu cook, janitor… and, of course, Dragon Whisperer. What started as a simple backyard project in his early teens has grown into a full-blown obsession, evolving into the handcrafted artistry of Griffin Made Knives.

Over the years, Gary has been gifted with the opportunity to meet, befriend, and work with some truly amazing bladesmiths and legends in the knifemaking world. Every knife he makes is a piece of functional sculpture, created entirely by hand without jigs or guides — forging, profiling, grinding, and shaping each detail individually. Every blade carries its own character, its own presence, and its own unique mojo.

If a piece speaks to you, Gary can recreate something similar — or forge a completely custom, one-of-a-kind family heirloom made just for you.
