Laughing Coyote Knives are first and foremost working knives. Although we here at Laughing Coyote Knives appreciate the precision and time that go into the making of “art” knives, we strive to produce knives that you wear on your belt, that work outside, get scratched and dirty and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Laughing Coyote Knives are custom personal tools; you will come to appreciate using a quality, handmade knife. Laughing Coyote Knives primarily offer one-of-a-kind products, some of which have been re-purposed from blades or steel cast-off by other users. We like to take old folders, saw blades, hunters and kitchen knives that may have nicked edges, warped handles or other damage, and turn that discarded steel back into handsome, practical cutting instruments. Custom designs are our specialty; we can work with you on creating your personal carry knife with choice of blade, handles and finishes. All heat-treating, tempering, etching and stonewashing is done in house, and all handles are hand finished and rubbed. With a Laughing Coyote Knife you will be investing in a unique knife at an affordable price. Comments on the Military and Business Ownership Tenacious, willing to take chances
