Built by Hand. Made to Work.

I’m Scott, the maker behind every knife that leaves the Buttonhook shop.

Every Buttonhook knife is handcrafted here in America and built with a simple purpose: to be used. In the field, around camp, in the kitchen, or carried every day, each design starts with function and is built for the work it’s meant to do.

I believe craftsmanship still matters. That means quality materials, attention to detail, and taking the time to build each knife right—not simply building more of them.

Why Buttonhook Forge?

A fishing rod held upright in dirt near the edge of a body of water, with a fishing knife stuck into the ground next to it.
