Fisher Blades makes batch-run production and hand-built knives that are purpose designed for the activities that we’re passionate about: self-protection, bushcraft/outdoor and hunting.
Fisher Blades hews closely to these three principles:
PURPOSE-FIRST DESIGN – All our knife designs begin with a very well-considered statement of the intended purpose of the knife. All functional design elements then must serve this purpose. No functional elements are modified to make them “look cool.”
BATCH-RUN QUALITY - Fisher Blades produces batch-runs which allows us to concentrate on the quality of these runs to an extreme degree – something simply not possible with conventional large-scale knife making. Every single knife we produce is touched extensively by our own hands before it gets shipped out. Our knife models are made in two kinds of batches: Prime and Rerun Editions, which means we’ll repeat that same model (same steel, blade finish and scales) over time, and Unicorn Editions, which are unique, one-time combinations of steel, blade finish and scales. All knives are etched with batch number, number produced and blade number within the batch.
MADE IN USA – We are resolute in producing USA-made knives. We expressly do NOT make parts in China, nor source materials/components from China. Nothing against the Chinese– we just don’t want to support an authoritarian regime that suppresses their peoples’ natural rights and uses slave labor to make cheap shit for us to buy at Walmart. All Fisher Blades knife and sheath materials are USA sourced with some of our raw blade steel coming from Germany. The entire production process is in the USA, including fasteners, scale production, sheath production, etc. Final knife build is 100% in our Missoula, Montana shop.
Fisher Blades is a family business, with clear and firmly held ideas on our purpose, mission and values:
Purpose (why are we here)
To provide edged tools for people to survive and thrive.
Mission (what do we do)
To make the best damned blades and edged tools we can.
Values (how we roll)
To be honest, true and authentic to ourselves and our customers.
Fisher Blades was founded by Chas and John Fisher - brothers who bring an eclectic mix of experiences and disciplines to bear in the making of blades.
