North Arm Knives

North Arm Knives High grade knives designed and made in British Columbia We are a father and son team, John and Mike Gudmundson.

North Arm Knives is a small knife maker in the greater Vancouver (Canada) area which started operation in 2013. We make a lineup of both kitchen and outdoor knives, and as of November 2016 we've added a modern folding knife to our list of models! We strive to produce attractive, durable and highly functional products. The top quality materials we use set us apart from mass-produced knives. We sell

our products direct to our customers through our online store, which we opened in December 2013. We are set up to ship internationally from our metro Vancouver location. Our company is named after a tributary of the Fraser River near where we live. For more about North Arm, visit our website: http://northarmknives.com/

We made a lighter handle, then we tried to break it! This is a lighter handle for our Lynx knife, now available at https://northarmknives.com/product/lynx-hunting-knife-with-kydex-sheath/

We hollowed it out more than usual and then abused it with fire, -100F freezing and a sledge hammer. It took the abuse as well as we thought it would. We love G10!
