About Us
US CustomForge Knives is a handmade knife shop founded in 1990 by knifemaker Sufyan & Usman from pakistan with multiple partners in Oklahoma , US. Every blade is forged, ground, and finished by hand using Damascus steel, Copper Damascus, and D2 tool steel, paired with natural handle materials like camel bone, bullhorn, and stag antler, and the shop now works alongside partner Alicia Teal, Ryan Miller a hunter and 27-year knife collector.
Our Story
USCustom Forge Knives started in 1990 in Pakistan, with one workbench, basic tools, and a simple goal: learn to forge a proper knife by hand and do it well.
Founder Sufyan & Usman spent the early years learning through trial and error. Shaping steel by hand, working out heat treatment, and yes, ruining more than a few blades along the way. Each attempt came out sharper than the last, and that slow, hands-on process is still how every knife gets made today.
Damascus steel came next, the folded, layered blades that give each knife its distinctive pattern. From there the craft moved into Copper Damascus, the Cu-Mai style blades that combine copper and layered steel, a harder process to master but one that produces a genuinely unique blade.
How We Make Our Knives
Every knife is still forged, ground, and finished largely by hand in the same Pakistan workshop where the shop began and delivered to its partners in Blanchard Oklahoma , US. Damascus patterns come straight out of the forge rather than a printed finish, and handles are fitted piece by piece using camel bone, bullhorn, and hardwood.
No factory line, no shortcuts. That’s what separates a USCustomForge Knives blade from a mass-produced import, and it’s the same standard that’s guided the shop since 1990. Read more about what sets our knives apart on our Why Choose Us page.
A Growing Partnership
USCustom Forge Knives now works alongside with Multipartner, a hunter with over 20 years of experience hunting across Canada,US Germany, and abroad, and a lifelong knife collector. John Obrien brings that field experience directly into the shop’s hunting knife and Bowie knife lines, and writes many of the hunting and knife guides on our blog.
Same forge, same workshop, same standards as 1990. The partnership simply lets more people get their hands on a knife built the same way it always has been.
