Santa Fe Stoneworks

Santa Fe Stoneworks operates from a historic adobe workshop in the heart of New Mexico's artistic capital, where master craftsmen transform production knives into extraordinary works of functional art. Founded with a vision to elevate everyday carry pieces through the integration of rare and exotic materials, this artisanal brand has carved out a distinctive niche in the custom knife market by specializing in gemstone inlays and fossilized mammoth materials.

The brand's signature approach involves taking quality production knives from established manufacturers and enhancing them with premium handle materials that include fossilized woolly mammoth bone and tusk, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and other precious stones. This unique business model has led to successful collaborations with major knife companies like Spyderco and Kershaw, creating limited edition pieces that blend production reliability with custom aesthetics. Each knife receives meticulous hand-finishing, with materials carefully selected and shaped to create one-of-a-kind patterns and color variations.

Santa Fe Stoneworks has become particularly renowned for their work with ancient mammoth ivory and bone, materials that can be tens of thousands of years old. These fossilized elements provide not only stunning visual appeal but also exceptional durability and a tangible connection to prehistoric times. The craftsmen at Santa Fe Stoneworks employ traditional lapidary techniques alongside modern knife-making methods to achieve seamless integration of these exotic materials.

Beyond custom knives, the brand produces EDC accessories and Damascus steel blade options, all backed by a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship. This guarantee reflects their confidence in both material selection and execution. For collectors and users seeking knives that transcend mere utility, Santa Fe Stoneworks offers pieces that serve as conversation starters and heirlooms, combining Southwestern artistic heritage with practical cutting tools that perform as beautifully as they appear.
