Our Story

After starting in his garage in 2008, John Grimsmo became a self-taught CNC machinist. With encouragement from his wife Meg, he dedicated one day a week to making knives and documenting the process on YouTube. He called this series "Knife Making Tuesday". Soon after, John's brother Erik partnered with him. Five years later they hired their first employee. Now, this Canadian owned and operated company has grown to 12 highly skilled individuals who specialize in engineering, machining, finishing and marketing. The Grimsmo team still follows the original philosophy of making the best products possible, no matter how long it takes, and to pursue perfection in every possible way.
