Knives & Axes

Personalized Bison River knives and axes — folding pocket knives, fixed blades, EDC carry, throwing and fireman axes, engraved on the handle.

The split that matters is folding versus fixed. A folding pocket or EDC knife lives in a pocket and gets used daily — the 3.5" and 4" ball-bearing models open fast and sit at the affordable end. Fixed blades don't fold, so they're stronger and better suited to fishing, hunting and camp work; the 7.75" and 9.5" wood-handled models and the tanoak-handled fillet knife fall here. The rescue knife adds a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter for a vehicle. Axes are their own thing — a 16" tournament throwing axe for the yard, and the fireman axe in 17.5" or 36". Leather sheaths are sold separately for the folding models. Prices run $11.99 to $129.99.

Engraving goes on the handle, and character limits are tighter here than elsewhere in the shop — check the engraving field on each knife. You approve a proof before we cut; allow 7–10 business days.
