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!

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
