Welcome to the Knife Kit training and support forum!


I'm not sure how secret this project has been in it's development, because I've heard all sorts of speculation and such. However, I suppose this is the official announcement, so here goes ...

Over the last 6 or so months, we've been quietly developing a new company. The name of the new division is KnifeKits.com and, like it's name, will be a supply source for designer level knife kits. These are kits and designs that we are personally behind the design and manufacturing of, all of which will be available at the finer supply sites, hunting, fishing and other sporting goods outlets and many other distribution points, includeing directly from the new site. Currently, we are launching the project and site with 3 kit designs that we have in place. Over the next 60 days, additional kits that we have in various stages of the process will be added to the system. Then, as time moves forward, we'll be continually adding to the lineup, hopefully rounding out the product line to about 20-25 running and available kits. These will be signature designs that bare the names of the makers who's designs we've selected. In essence, we'll be attempting to break the current kit mold by offering the hottest new designs in folding, tactical, hunting and general utility knives, all of which being produced in the highest quality materials available and at varying degrees of finish and optional add-ons.

KnifeKits.com is about helping new makers and hobbyists learn to make top quality knives they can be proud to construct and carry, by offering them an easy to follow system supported by professional teachers and trainers.

This company was formed as a partnership between Briar Industries and Atlanta Virtual Internet Services, which is basically a joint ownership between Darrel Ralph and myself. Darrel has accepted the position as President of knifekits.com and will be heading up all aspects of the product-line, working with our kit designers and quality control of the product via it's manufacture. AV will handle the sales and distribution, thus marketing, advertising and affiliation controls.

I want to welcome Darrel to the CKD as the Kit Forum Moderator. If you have any question about working with the products or the necessities of building kits, whether they be knifekits.com productions or basic kits available elsewhere, he's here to help.

We hope this forum is a nice addition to the CKD community and want to use it to help knife making enthusiast's learn this awesome hobby. Who knows, today's kit maker may soon become tomorrow's master knife maker. If it accomplishes this goal and creates more avenues of enjoyment in the process, it's a winner!

Great idea. Congratulations to the new company and its owners.

With Darrel heading up the product-lines and quality control, along with Alex handling the sales, marketing, etc., this should be a big hit. By the way, the site looks fantastic too.

Thanks men!

Hope this forum becomes a great addition to the boards and helps us promote the art of knife making through the roof ...

Keep your eye peeled for our newly designed kits. We hope to launch some really killer designs in the near future. I've worked with, handled and practiced the assembly of all of the kit knives you see on the site now and I can tell you from personal experience, they are fantastic. Top notch stuff!
