Looking for a nice knife for a gift. As far as style, a clever or butcher type, I want something a little rough like it has clearly been forged. I'd love to buy from a small business or individual, a veteran would be a plus. Any recs?

May not be rustic enough for you but these are damn good knives handcrafted in Dover, Ohio. Lifetime guarantee. Mine are 25+ years old. Steak knives are the oldest at 31 years.

My first thought too. But if he wanted it as a gift, it would have to be a gift for 2028!
We have about 10 of their knives. Wait was about 4-5 years for the first 4.
Oh dang. Makes me not feel so bad when my 2 month projects take 2 years. I'll reach out anyways thanks for the rec.
I've got some Iron Grove Tool knives (Austin based) for my BBQ gear. He might be able to help in a timely manner.

On this coming Monday they put out the monthly newsletter with info for the possibility of being drawn for a knife. Be sure to sign up for emails.
Epting Knives - he lives in Wellborn. He was a finalist on Forged in Fire. Good guy.
I still have this for sale. He won Forged in Fire, too.

If I'd signed up for a bloodroot when I first learned of them on here a few years ago I'd be well past the halfway point on the wait time.
I keep saying "dude just send them the $100 because you can always get it back if you decide to give up your spot".

Staff - take out the trash.
If you want an old cleaver that's been restored New West Knives does that.

I've bought from Serenity Knives in Houston. Small shop 2 guys. Beautiful work.
Ended up going with them (Iron Grove Tool Co.) Really nice knife, and they were more in my price range. Also found out they offer classes where you can make your own knife. So I'll be hitting that up at some point.
Great choice. That's a good looking knife. I love his quality and price.
Hey BSD
You think this one is worth it with their 20% off coupon? As far as quality and craftsmanship goes.

The knife looks nice and 20% off ain't bad! Any way you can handle it before you buy?
check out this guys Facebook page. He makes dang good knives. The blade is made from a horse rasp and he uses various woods for the handle. My personal favorite is the cholla wood and he fills in the holes of the cholla with a maroon resin.
Justus Steel Crafts is the Facebook page.
Surprised nobody mentioned this, as I'm pretty sure my purchase came from recommendations here: https://almazankitchen.com/
Knife with an end grain cutting board I made.
looks good and is tough as nails.
Of you want a skinning knife from BFE:

I did - great recommendation. Going to cook some brisket next weekend just so I can put them to use.
Love it. They are heirloom.

Have not used them yet - been out of town on the weekends.
Fair enough and no worries.
