Herb Derr

I have been a dealer for Herb Derr Custom Knives for over a decade, long before I had a website, I sold Herb’s knives at Knife Shows and Gun Shows, often to repeat customers. Herb’s pieces are sole authorship- he forges his own Damascus, grinds his own blades, makes his own leather sheaths, and still finds time to teach courses at a Community College on how to make Damascus.

Herb has been a full time knife maker since 1994, but started the process of knife making in 1990. All of his knives are 100% hand made by himself. He now also teaches Damascus bladesmithing.
