About M.W. Knives – Handmade Knives in Kentucky
I’m Micah White, the craftsman behind M.W. Knives — a small but dedicated knife shop tucked away in the woods of LaRue County, Kentucky. Here, I design and build custom handmade knives for people who value durability, function, and beauty in a blade.
Every M.W. Knives creation is hand-forged or precision-crafted from quality steels like carbon steel, stainless steel, and Damascus. Whether it’s a kitchen knife for daily cooking, a hunting knife for the field, or a design inspired by traditional and historical blades, each knife is made to be used hard and last for years. I focus on clean lines, strong steel, balanced weight, and practical finishes that show the pride and care that went into the work.
My goal is simple: to keep pushing my craftsmanship to new limits and make each knife better than the last.
This isn’t just a business — it’s a way of life. While I’m the main maker, I get helping hands in the shop from time to time, and I hope to pass this skill down to my three sons one day. Each knife sold helps support our family’s mission toward self-reliance, and every order is a piece of that story.
If you’re looking for a handmade knife from Kentucky that’s built with purpose and designed to serve you for a lifetime, you’ve come to the right place.
