JOSHUA GALLARDO
I discovered Joshua on Instagram where he has a HUGE following and I was really impressed with the distinctive look of his work. While in college, Joshua stumbled on a video of Murray Carter Forging a knife and over time he decided to build his own Shop. After going Full Time in 2018, Joshua quickly developed a loyal following for his Precision Fit & Finish, Incredibly Crisp Grinds and elegant styling. He does not use any CNC or Computer Equipment and creates his knives One at a Time, all within his own Shop. Joshua’s Knives usually sell out on IG in Minutes!

This knife was designed by Josh and Hand Crafted with a very Comfortable, Full Size Grip Handle. The Handle Material combination is an incredible set of Stabilized and Highly Figured Cocobolo Wood with Multiple Precision Fit Liners and Green Canvas Micarta Bolsters.
Joshua chose to layer the handle materials starting with a Natural Micarta layer, then Dramatic White G-10 and Natural Micarta Liners.
Hand Crafted from Uddeholm AEBL which is known for having a Very Fine Carbide structure and excellent Performance at Higher Hardness and also has the Perk of High Stain Resistance. The Blade has one of the most Crisp and Concise Grinds that I have seen. This is a blade that will handle any daily cutting chore but also would make a wonderful Field knife or Kitchen Prep blade.
The Handle Scales are secured with Blind Bolts that have Natural Micarta caps as well as a Micarta Lined Lanyard hole. Incredible Fit & Finish from front to back.
This knife comes in a Custom Leather Pocket or Over the Pants Sheath also made by Joshua
It has a Metal Pocket Clip ~ able to be carried in the Front Right Pocket or on the Left Hand Side over the Pants or Belt.

Joshua’s Philosophy is ~ “In my opinion a knife is a tool first and foremost and that ideology is the foundation for every design I develop. However, my goal in every blade I make is to produce a product that exceeds my customers expectations. Whether it is the fit and finish, the unique materials, or simply the curves and lines of each model, I do my best to create something that is much more than just a tool.”
Joshua does INCREDIBLE work ~ he no longer takes Orders and offers very few knives each Month
