Dirty Bird Knives

Dirty Bird Knives was formed in the summer of 2016 in Albuquerque, New Mexico by best friends and founders, John Orr and Luke Fraser. Both of us have always had a passion for working with our hands, primarily with wood and metal. Knife making for us combined our love of handcrafting pieces of art and creating hard use tools you could depend on whenever or wherever you need it. Through our experiences as blue collar workers and our service in the military, we have developed a tremendous appreciation for well made tools that perform time after time, and that is the standard we maintain when making our knives. We are part-time makers with full time jobs, families, and a dream to turn our little operation in to a full-time reality. We are very humbled and extremely grateful for all the support and love we have received from our local community, the knife community, our families, and everyone who has ever bought our knives or simply follows us on social media.
