Quest Custom Knives

Quest Custom Knives represents the dedication of a single master craftsman who transformed over 25 years of design and engineering experience into a boutique knifemaking operation. Founded in 2013, this one-man custom shop operates from the United States, producing handcrafted folding knives and EDC tools that exemplify precision manufacturing and thoughtful design.

The brand specializes in titanium framelock flippers and gentleman's EDC knives, with each piece meticulously crafted using premium materials. Quest's signature construction features S35VN steel blades paired with titanium 6AL-4V frames, combining exceptional edge retention with lightweight durability. The knives are distinguished by their intricate mesh patterns and stonewashed finishes, details that showcase the maker's commitment to both aesthetics and functionality.

Operating as a true custom shop, Quest maintains a build waitlist system that reflects the time-intensive nature of handcrafting each knife individually. Beyond folding knives, the brand has expanded its offerings to include neck knives and prybars, catering to the diverse needs of everyday carry enthusiasts who appreciate American-made quality.

Quest Custom Knives backs their craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty on all knives, demonstrating confidence in both materials and construction methods. This warranty commitment reflects the brand's philosophy that custom knives should be reliable tools, not just collectibles.

The brand's approach appeals to collectors and users seeking alternatives to mass-produced folders. Each Quest knife represents a direct connection between maker and owner, with the singular focus that only a one-person operation can provide. For those willing to join the waitlist, Quest delivers knives that blend engineering precision with artisan craftsmanship, creating EDC pieces built to last generations.
