Off-Grid Knives® is a family owned, American business, offering high quality knives at multiple price points. We offer a wide variety of tough, overbuilt, hard-use EDC folders and fixed blade knives. Off-Grid uses high quality materials combined with excellent fit and finish which creates knives that last a lifetime. Our knife designs are created in-house and we use vetted, proven, and trusted companies to build our designs. Being a smaller company means less overhead and we pass the savings to you. We are a direct-to-consumer business, if you buy an Off-Grid knife, it's coming directly from us, no middle man. Off-Grid Knives' products are sold on two platforms: offgridknives.com and Amazon Prime. We appreciate and care about every Off-Grid customer and offer world class customer service, a common theme you will read about in our reviews. Off-Grid does not advertise, we rely on good old fashioned word-of-mouth...if it's a high quality product and value, knife collectors will spread the word.
Metal Complex, from his YouTube channel with 200k subscribers, describes Off-Grid Knives perfectly, "Off-Grid exists on the ledge between hyper-tactical, utilitarian and the modern knife enthusiast world. Off-Grid always manages to do something a little bit different and more fun from what the other knife companies are doing."
Off-Grid Knives partnered with fulfillment warehouses all over the country to ship our knives quickly and efficiently with 3 business day shipping over $99, and free standard shipping on all orders. We feel it's worth the extra cost to keep YOU as a lifetime repeat customer. Let's face it, when you buy a new knife, you want in your hands asap!
Our goal is to add value to your knife collection, when you buy an Off-Grid knife, we want you to say, "this feels like a knife twice the cost", this is what we're hearing from our Off-Grid customers. Read our reviews, customers compare our knives to Benchmade, Zero Tolerance, Spyderco, Kershaw, CRKT, SOG, Hogue, KA-BAR and other big corporation companies. The bottom line is, we're doing our best to create high-quality knives with the highest fit and finish as possible and hit multiple price points. Some knife buyers want M390 and Titanium, others are happy with D2 and G10 at a lower cost, we offer both so we can take care of the wants, needs and price points for all types of knife collectors.
When you choose to buy from Off-Grid Knives, you're treated like family. We offer old school customer service, 24/7 we're here for you. Problem? We've got your back...ALWAYS. You're locked in as we offer a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee with registration.
On a personal note, for many years I've been collecting knives and drawing and sketching knife designs. I never thought I would make them, and selling knives was a nothing but a pipe-dream. However, I knew deep down I had to give it a shot...so in 2016 I rolled the dice, quit my day job and started Off-Grid Knives with one knife and one tactical pen. To my surprise, they sold out, and continued to build Off-Grid one knife at a time. Now with over 65 knives in our catalog and 10 new designs on the way, I'm happy to say Off-Grid Knives is continuing to grow at a rapid pace thanks to YOU and the many amazing Off-Grid customers...THANK YOU!

Many of our knives and all of our fixed blades are made in Taiwan, our Taiwanese production partner produces or has produced knives for Ka-Bar, SOG, Kershaw, CRKT, Cold Steel and many others that you likely own and carry every day. The ELITE SERIES "Black Mamba V2" and "Scorpion" knives are built by Bestech who are based in China. Our Rhino's, Raptor, Cleaver V2, Caiman, Caiman XL, Enforcer, Enforcer XL knives are also built by Bestech. Bestech and our Taiwan partners have strict fit and finish and quality control policies, and they know how to build excellent knives with amazing action, teaming up with them was an easy choice. I've personally met with the owners of Bestech and our Taiwan partners, they are passionate and caring people whose goals are the same as ours, create high quality knives with the best fit and finish possible at affordable, fair prices.
We've attempted to produce high quality affordable production knives here in the USA, but it's unfortunately not possible in order to meet our price points for the customer. We thoroughly vetted the companies we teamed with, we personally sample and test all prototypes prior to launching any knife into the market, make any changes necessary, we take our time before we release a new knife. Read our reviews, our knives are built to last, high quality, and made for hard-use.
We understand if you're a 'USA only' knife buyer, we get it, but give Off-Grid Knives a chance and we're confident you'll be pleasantly surprised. We offer a money back guarantee AND a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee with registration. You have nothing to lose except overpaying for a "big brand" knife.

"Quality is about effort rather than geography."

What is the meaning and origin of your logo?
We get this question enough to add it here in the FAQ. The Off-Grid logo is a house or shelter with the USA flag as the window. The sharp spikes or edge weapons represent protection, independence and self reliance which is a hallmark of living "Off-Grid". We added seven stars to add a patriotic feel. Off-Grid Knives deeply believe in these principals and wanted to represent our brand as 'pro-USA' and 'pro-USM'.
If you have suggestions, input, or ideas that you think might improve our products, we'd love to hear it. We are always listening to our customers, working to improve our products every time we go back into production.
Knives are our passion, and so is our commitment to every customer who's a part of the Off-Grid Family. We want our customers to be happy campers no matter what, we trek the extra mile to make sure you're all good...guaranteed!
