Hand-crafted in the Ozarks by native Missourian Francis Kirk, FK Knives are unique multi-purpose blades that anyone will be proud to carry. Each blade or tool is made from re-purposed material gathered from around the region and beyond. The scales are created from a variety of material as available including local or exotic woods, antler from white tail deer, elk, caribou, moose, water buffalo, or micarta. All knives are custom made to satisfy each customer's needs as possible. The blades are carbon steel so they must be hand washed and oiled regularly to prevent rust. Discoloration or patina of the metal is normal with typical use.
