APurvis Blades

APurvis Blades represents the evolution of custom knife making into accessible, production-quality folding knives. Founded in 2016 by Adam Purvis, a career firefighter with a passion for blade craft, the brand has carved out a distinctive niche in the modern knife industry. What began as a custom knife making operation has strategically transitioned into production models and specialized modification work, allowing Purvis to bring his designs to a broader audience without sacrificing quality.

The brand specializes in titanium frame lock folders built with premium materials that punch above their price point. APurvis Blades consistently incorporates high-performance M390 steel for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance, while offering both stonewash and PVD coating options to suit different aesthetic preferences. Beyond complete knives, the company has developed expertise in Timascus components and custom knife modifications, serving both end users and fellow makers in the community.

Collaboration defines much of APurvis Blades' product strategy. The partnership with designer Elijah Isham resulted in the Progeny model, which has garnered significant attention in the EDC community. Reviewers have praised it as "a value-priced designer-produced blade unlike anything else", highlighting how the brand delivers custom-quality design at production prices.

The APurvis Blades lineup focuses squarely on everyday carry applications, with designs that balance practical functionality and refined aesthetics. Each knife reflects Purvis's hands-on understanding of what working professionals need in a daily-carry blade—reliability, durability, and performance. For knife enthusiasts seeking designer-quality folders without custom knife pricing, APurvis Blades offers a compelling middle ground where craftsmanship meets accessibility, backed by the practical sensibility of a maker who understands real-world knife use.
