Collection: Shed Knives American Made

The Idea: Originally starting in 2018 as just a hobby, Shed Knives was started by 3 friends making knives on Saturday mornings. 


As they started to perfect their craft, the team of friends began getting noticed by friends and family for their new passion. In 2018, the 3 friends started trading knives for bigger and better machines to build the "Shed Knives Shop." To create the knives, the friends needed a forge. The original forge was made from a a big aluminum bucket, clay from the local river, a coffee can on the inside to keep everything contained, a hair dryer, and a metal tube connecting the forge to the hair dryer. 

A Journey Into Business: The 3 friends started making and selling their first knives for sale in 2019. The friends started selling at scouting events, to friends, family, and whoever else wanted one. Today, Jack Billings is the only one remaining in the company (Ben, Sam, and Jack still see each other on a regular basis) only because interests change and so do schedules. Through this time, Jack found new team members and was able to continue producing knives and fulfilling orders.
