Millit Knives emerged in 2011 from the expertise of former Chris Reeve Knives employees who brought their precision manufacturing experience to Idaho's knife industry. This heritage is evident in every aspect of their operation, from their advanced CNC machining capabilities to their meticulous attention to detail. As one of the few true OEMs capable of high-end US production, Millit has established itself as both a respected brand and a trusted manufacturing partner for other knifemakers.
The company specializes in high-end folding knives and fixed blades, with their flagship Torrent and Overland models showcasing their commitment to premium materials and precision engineering. Millit's knives feature top-tier components like titanium frames and S90V steel, delivering performance that rivals far more expensive competitors. According to a GearJunkie review, the Torrent "sits comfortably among $1,000+ knives while standing out in terms of value", highlighting the brand's ability to deliver exceptional quality at competitive price points.
Beyond their own product line, Millit offers comprehensive OEM manufacturing services, providing full-service production including CNC machining, heat treating, and finishing for other knife designers and brands. This dual focus allows them to maintain cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities while producing limited runs of their own innovative designs and collaborative projects.
The knife community has taken notice of Millit's exceptional craftsmanship, with enthusiasts on BladeForums noting that "their CRK heritage shows in the exceptional build quality". This recognition speaks to the company's ability to translate decades of collective experience into knives that meet the demanding standards of serious collectors and users alike. Whether producing their own designs or manufacturing for partners, Millit Knives represents American precision manufacturing at its finest.
