About Fox Trail Knives
We’re Chris and Tami — the team behind Fox Trail Craftworks. What began as Chris’s lifelong passion for bladesmithing has grown into a way for us to tell stories through handmade knives.
Chris learned the fundamentals at Randall Made Knives and spent years honing his own style — moving from stock removal into forging Damascus, San Mai, and everyday carry blades that bridge artistry and function.

I (Tami) was drawn to his work because of the stories hidden in each piece. One
of the first knives that caught my eye was a custom blade made from a Cub Scout
uniform — the fabric pressed into micarta and a button inlaid as a bow‑drill
socket. It wasn’t just a knife; it was a memory you could hold.
That moment sparked our approach: knives built from meaningful materials, designed to carry personal history. From raindrop Damascus forged with fire sprinkler pipe to heirloom Go Mai blades symbolizing generations of a family business, every piece blends craft and story.
While knives are our core, we’ve expanded into 3D printing and electroforming, creating everything from fire sprinkler novelties to custom car emblems — but every project starts with the same purpose: making something that matters.
