Welcome to Grey Wolf Knives

I Appreciate you stopping by.

Formerly Wolf Mountain Knives

My name is Ken Wolfe and I'm an Knifemaker who uses my Art, Engraving and Sculpting in my Knifemaking. I've been making Handmade Custom Knives with Special Carving or Engraving for about 18 years. I create One of A Kind Working Knives as well as a Collectable Knives using ATS-34 & 440C Stainless Steels as well as 10XX Series. 5160 and L6 Carbon Tool Steels and USA Damascus (Pattern Welded).
Handle Materials are usually ( Stabilized ) Exotic Burlwoods, Antler, Bone, Ivory and some Man made Materials such as Micarta's and G-10.
All the Custom Handmade Knives in MY GALLERY are done completely by me in my shop in the Sierras. They are Hand Hammer Forged or Stock Removal. They are made with basic tools like, Belt Grinders, Drills, Files. Some Makers have gone to making their knives faster with state of the art machinery like profiling with Water Jet or Plasma Cutters and using Mills and CNC and such to increase production and reduce costs. I'm not into production and still make Handmade Knives one at a time. I'm not interested in making Production Knives.

My shop is next to Our Home in the Sierras, right off Interstate 80, among the pines and cedars on your way to Reno or Lake Tahoe from Sacramento. It's a beautiful place to work and create. Our little town is called Alta, which is very near where the mules and rescuers left to rescue the Donner Party near Donner Lake. About 2000 people live here and it's 30 miles to the closest Red Light.

My interest in Custom Handmade Knives began more than 18 years ago while Engraving and Carving on someone elses knife. I wanted a blade ground so that the engraving that I do on the blade would show a little better than the usual hollow ground blade and also have a Strong Edge. A good Knifemaking friend and Mentor taught me how to make a great Convex Ground blade in the style of Bill Moran and Ed Fowler. I grind Mostly Convex and some Flat Grinds. That friend and Mentor is Knifemaker Jim Sigg of Sigma Knives. See Link Page.

Sorry to say Bill Moran has Passed On. He will be sorely missed, but will be always remembered for his many contributions to the Knife World.
