PMP Knives emerged on the knife scene in 2021 as a Swiss manufacturer with an unapologetic philosophy: go big or go home. Based in Switzerland, this relatively young brand has quickly carved out a distinctive niche by producing some of the most massively overbuilt folding knives available in today's market, earning recognition for creating what enthusiasts call "The THICKEST Production Folding Knife EVER".
The brand specializes in titanium framelock folders and slipjoint designs that push conventional boundaries of blade thickness. While most production folders feature blades between 3-4mm thick, PMP routinely produces knives with blade stock up to 10mm—more than double the industry standard. This extreme construction philosophy extends beyond mere novelty; it creates knives with exceptional rigidity and durability that appeal to collectors and hard-use enthusiasts alike.
PMP's commitment to premium materials matches their ambitious designs. The company exclusively uses Bohler M390 steel for blade construction, a high-performance stainless steel prized for its edge retention and corrosion resistance. Handles feature titanium construction with framelock mechanisms that deliver what reviewers describe as "bank vault-like lockup." Despite the premium specifications, the brand has earned praise from KnifeCenter for offering "excellent bang for the buck" relative to the materials and build quality provided.
The flagship Alpha Beast model exemplifies PMP's design ethos—a knife that functions as both a capable cutting tool and a conversation piece. As one dealer notes, it's "a statement as much as a cutting tool", appealing to those who appreciate engineering pushed to extremes.
PMP distributes exclusively through an authorized dealer network with minimum advertised pricing policies, ensuring consistent pricing and dealer support. For knife enthusiasts seeking something genuinely different in the crowded EDC market, PMP Knives delivers Swiss precision with unmistakable presence.
