Wooska presents:

Coaxing the Soul out of Stone, Steel & Wood

Here at Santa Fe Stoneworks we do make our own custom knives the old fashion way, from scratch. For affordability reasons, we also purchase knive stocks from high-quality and trusted manufacturers. We hand-grind our own designs from top notch 440C and ATS-34 blade steel. Below is a list of the manufacturers we purchase from.

Camillus Cutlery Founded in 1876 in a village just outside Syracuse, New York, Santa Fe Stoneworks partner/collaborator Camillus Cutlery holds a unique distinction: they are America's oldest knife manufacturer. For four generations fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, have worked side by side, carrying on cutlery-making traditions that include more than 100 hand operations and personal inspections of every knife. Camillus knives have been standard issue for serious knife users from the Boy Scouts to the US Army and Marines. This cutlery giant, that makes many of the knives purchased under others' familiar and distinguished brand names, supplies the steel skeletons for the majority of the pocket knives, letter openers, table and kitchenware, and factory custom Cudas that ultimately become the works of art offered in our collection. We are proud to partner with and use these quality Camillus and Western (a division of Camillus) components as the canvases on which we paint with gemstone and wood!

Spyderco® Spyderco® adds another dimension – a very sharp one – to our already rich and varied collections. This well-known maker's claims to fame are two-fold. Spyderco knives are equally well-known for their signature, easy, one-hand-opening design featuring a round hole in the top of each blade AND for their serrated Spyder® Edge. This type edge, much copied today, is perfect for difficult cutting chores... even making light work of seatbelts, should the need arise! These knives feature premium, high-tech, blade steels. Oh, and by the way, we almost forgot to mention that all our Spyderco® models sport a stainless steel pocket clip that keeps them at-the-ready at all times.

Buck Knives Everyone knows Buck. Many may remember receiving their first Buck pocket knife from their father, and may have continued the tradition with their own children. The popularity of Buck stems from their meticulous attention to detail, sophisticated blade making practices, and the top notch steels (420HC) used in their ordinary pocket knives. When asked what a specific knife was used for, founder Al Buck used to laugh and say, "No matter what we designed it for, it's what the person who buys it uses it for." We hope you'll enjoy our versatile selection of popularly-priced pocket cutlery from this innovative cutler.

Benchmade Knives Custom and benchmade knives are distinguished by one feature: in the former all hand operations are performed at the bench by one person, the custom maker, while the similar high quality fit and finish that characterize a benchmade knife are the product of several pair of skilled hands working at that same bench. Benchmade Knives has its own legendary reputation in the cutlery industry. And just to tie this all together, the Benchmade knives re handled by Stoneworks are a factory custom collaboration between Benchmade and Mel Pardue, one of the country’s leading custom makers. Mel’s association with Benchmade brings his 20+ years of custom knife making experience and a personal design style that has, we think you'll agree, a class and simplicity all its own.
