What makes a legend? It\u2019s not something you can just proclaim. It\u2019s not something that comes once you hit a certain age. No, a legend is a title earned from a life of adventure and stories that are worth being told over and over again. From the moment we made the gutsy move to a family-run knife manufacturer, we charted our course to earn the title of a legend. We became the companions of adventurers in the best moments of their lives and in their worst. We became their first hunting knife, fishing knife, and an important piece of gear when they enlisted. We\u2019ve been there, every step of the way.<\/p>\n
Each month throughout 2024, we\u2019ll be celebrating the anniversary of our origins. Join us as we recall the key moments that made every one of those 85 years a legend worth retelling.<\/p>\n
