Night Watch Knives has been in operation since February 2017 under the sole authorship of Alex Harrison, voting member of the Knifemaker’s Guild. From the utilitarian Gov’t Mule to the lavishly appointed Gary Plauche Bowie, every knife is hand made with pride in Kansas City, Kansas. Each blade that leaves the workshop is built without the use of jigs, fixtures, or computer assisted design.
Materials and construction methods are chosen based on documented performance track records rather than industry fads and trends. Heat treating and milling operations are performed in-house and without technical compromise. Every aesthetic choice is complimentary - but ultimately secondary - to the function of the knife.
The slogan – Light, Comfortable, Capable – is a design philosophy that is religiously adhered to. Each knife that leaves the workshop must be lighter in the hand than it appears, comfortable in every useful grip the user may require, and engineered from conception to finished product to be a performance tool first and foremost.
