Authentic Cowboy Knives

Our story begins back in the mid to late 1900s, long before “Authentic Cowboy Knives” became a name folks recognized across the West. We were ranchers first — living the true cowboy lifestyle out on the range, where good tools weren’t a luxury, they were a necessity. Every day demanded reliable knives, sturdy leather gear, and honest craftsmanship that could stand up to real ranch work.

My father was the first to forge a knife for himself — not to sell, but to work cattle, cut rope, and ride the line. That first blade started a family tradition. What began as a necessity soon turned into a craft. Over time, the demand grew as neighbors and fellow cowboys admired the durability and balance of his blades. That’s when our family’s journey in handmade cowboy knives truly began.

One of my brothers followed his own calling in leatherwork, mastering the art of crafting tooled leather belts, saddle work, and custom knife sheaths. His skill brought life to every piece of hide, and together we began offering complete cowboy gear — forged steel paired with fine leather.

Now, after decades of family tradition, I’ve taken our craftsmanship online for over a decade, sharing the same authentic quality that once lived only on our ranch. Every knife we sell carries the same grit, pride, and Western spirit that built our name — made for working cowboys, ranchers, and collectors who respect the tools of the trade.

At Authentic Cowboy Knives, we don’t just make knives — we preserve a legacy of cowboy craftsmanship, ranch-born durability, and American heritage forged in fire and leather.
