I've loved knives for as long as I can remember and have always had a creative itch.
I began making knives in 2008 with a cobbled together self built grinder in a small shop with an extension cord run from the house. I immediately knew I had found my creative outlet and haven't looked back since.
We are a family business with my wife Amy helping me with all business aspects and our adult children both working part time.
We are in the process of growing and look forward to adding more members to the team in the near future. We're glad to have you follow along with our journey.
The newest iteration of Jonathan's custom design that originated in 2010 incorporates all the knowledge that he has gained in the years since. With the smoothness that you have come to expect and the newest version of our hollow grind, this knife is built to perform.
Blade Show Atlanta's 2024 American-Made Fixed Blade of the Year®
Our McNees Ridge Runner Fixed Blade might just be the last knife you need (or want) to use for all your hunting and outdoor expeditions!
Designed by Jonathan McNees, a former Marine, lifelong hunter, and outdoorsman who got his start making knives in 2008, the Ridge Runner is purpose-built to tackle the toughest and grittiest conditions you can throw at it.
Featuring a robust fixed blade with a high and thin flat grind, it slices like a champ. And made from .125" MagnaCut steel, it's tough enough to take on all the hard work you need to get done.
The elegantly contoured handles have been carefully crafted to avoid hot spots while providing maximum grip, and they can be swapped out in minutes if you are looking to customize with other Ridge Runner handle colors or materials.
An included Kydex sheath offers exceptional retention and is set up with a Tek Lok for multi position carry.
And to top it all off, the whole package is Made in the USA.
