Letter from the President

A person's choice of outdoor gear, especially that of hunters and fishermen, is a source of personal pride and satisfaction. That doesn't mean you must have the most expensive gun, rod, knife, boots, or whatever, but the gun should be clean, well maintained, and accurate. Your knife should shave, and hopefully the boots will be well broken-in before tackling a major extended hunt. As outfitters in Alaska, we have guided hunters and fishermen into the Alaskan bush for years. One fact is - and has always been -  each man's gear is going to play a major role in determining his success, comfort, and enjoyment.

At Knives of Alaska, we understand what it means to rely on your gear. We've never lost sight of the fact that the knife of a dedicated hunter, fisherman or outdoorsman has two important aspects. First, and most important, it is a precision tool that must perform the task at hand efficiently, safely, and reliably time after time, year after year. Second, a man's knife is an investment and one of his personal objects of pride. It is a measuring stick among his peers.

We make award-winning outdoorsman's knives that are used and respected by some of the best professional guides and outfitters, hunters, and other outdoorsmen in Alaska, and across the globe. To say that our knives are field-tested is an understatement. We carry them across Southeast Alaska's glacier fields, through swamps, across tundra, and in the mountains, using them in all manner of chores. If something doesn't work, it gets corrected or eliminated in a hurry!

All of our knives, from our new line of folders to our award winning cleavers, our hatchets, combination sets, and fixed blade hunters, are quality outdoor cutlery for the self-reliant outdoorsman who demands the very best in his gear. It doesn't matter if you're hunting whitetails in a local woodlot or after a big Alaskan brown bear, your gear will still be one of the things that sets you apart and makes the hunt more enjoyable. Our promise to you is that our lifetime guaranteed knives are made to exacting quality standards that will ensure satisfaction and pride of ownership. They work for us in the harsh field conditions of bush Alaska-and they will work for you, time after time, year after year-wherever you hunt or fish.

Thank you for your confidence in our products. Enjoy the great outdoors and be sure to take a youngster hunting and fishing with you.

Charles Allen,

President and Owner

What They're Saying
Just wanted to take a moment and tell you that I am very impressed with the KOA knives. I currently own , 2 feather weights and the extreme survival. They are well made knives that hold a fantastic edge, looks great, and best of all Made in the USA. I have quite a few knives as I am an avid outdoorsmen but really, really love the KOA ones ! Even been up there to Alaska on a few survival missions in the bush alone.. so the importance of a great knife is a matter of life and death.

Just wanted to say great job and looking forward to purchasing many more to add to my growing KOA collection.

To be honest I have never heard of Knives of Alaska, until I went on a management hunt in West Tennessee. There were 2 tables set up to dress out the deer. One table had several knives laid out and a warden sharpening them as they completed each deer. I went to the other set up and they only had one knife and no sharpener. I watched them go through about 20 deer with the one knife. I asked who sharpened the knife; the poor guys at the other table are wearing out their sharpening steel. The game warden laughed and said his team was using a knife made by Knives of Alaska, you don't need to sharpen their knife,it's almost unreal how sharp this knife is and how long it holds a sharp cutting edge. This season I used my new Knives of Alaska knife for the first time and I was shocked. I have collected some excellent hunting knives over the years and Knives of Alaska is by far the best hunting knife I've ever used. I've field dressed 4 whitetails and the knife is still as sharp as the day I took it out of the box. Now I just carry one knife the Whitetail Hunter. What a nice piece of hunting gear. I?m sorry I waited so long to get one. From one very happy Knives of Alaska end user!

"I just wanted to let you know that my Hunter Folding knife I bought a couple of years ago is still as good as new. I keep it in my pocket and use it everyday. I'm hard on knives and usually go through them like socks, but this one is by far the best I've ever owned. Thanks for making good, dependable tools."
