About the Maker

Krein, Tom
Krein, Tom

I have been fascinated with knives for as long as I can remember. I can’t remember a time that I didn’t have a knife… Growing up I usually had a slip joint of some kind in my pocket. As I got older I realized how useful a good knife was while playing in the woods, or fishing on the creek. After seeing a copy of Blade magazine my sophomore year in high school I decided that I wanted to be a custom knife maker. After reading everything I could find on the subject I started making some fixed blades around 1993. A little later I got a chance to work for knife making legends Bob Dozier, and A.G. Russell. I currently work for myself and my three boys help in the shop. Knives are some of man’s oldest tools. I feel the beauty of a knife is that it can be tool and weapon in one package. In my knives I feel that form should follow function. This doesn’t mean that a knife can’t be beautiful, just that its functionality shouldn’t be affected by aesthetics. I continually strive to improve my knives and the methods I use to build them.

I have been active in the knife community since the late 90’s as a collector, user and craftsman. I am a lifelong woodworker, metalworker and tinkerer, all passions that drove me to start making knives, and by extension sheaths in the early 2000’s. In 2011 we welcomed our newborn daughter to the family, and there was no longer time for my knife making hobby, but I moved my leatherworking studio from my detached workshop into the house so I could pursue my true passion and still be close to family. In 2018 I left my corporate technology career to be a full time father and sheath maker. My goal is to make the finest English Bridle and exotic sheaths available, fitted directly to the knife it is meant to carry. I want them to be capable of any use required while also being able to fit into a collection of any size or value. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!
