Red Duck Knives — Where Every Knife Is an Adventure!

Founded in 2019 by John and Jake Graves, Red Duck Knives is more than just a knife company—it’s a story of craftsmanship, culture, and the outdoors forged into every blade. As a family-owned business, we blend modern design with old-school grit, teaming up with hand-picked artisans around the world to deliver knives that look sharp, feel solid, and perform when it matters.

A Legacy Forged in Life Experience

John’s journey began in the heart of tribal America, where he spent his early years immersed in the cultures of more than 35 Native American tribes. That experience shaped his deep respect for heritage, storytelling, and purposeful craftsmanship.

But it doesn’t stop there—John also brings over 25 years of diverse retail experience to the table. That background gives him a true understanding of what store owners and managers face every day—inventory pressure, merchandising challenges, and the need for real ROI. He knows what sells, what works in your space, and how to help you succeed.

Jake’s path was carved through the wild—camping, climbing, and exploring the outdoors. His hands-on knowledge of gear performance in real-world conditions helped shape knives designed for dependability, comfort, and control.

Together, they’ve built a brand rooted in cultural richness, adventure, retail smarts, and unmatched durability.

Knives That Cut Deep—In Value and Story

At Red Duck Knives, we don’t do generic. Every blade is crafted to serve a purpose and stand out—built from premium steels like 440C Stainless, 12C27 Stainless, Damascus, San Mai Damascus, and Stainless Steel Damascus for long-lasting performance and edge retention.

Whether your customers need an everyday-carry folder, a hunting essential, or a self-defense blade, we’ve got them covered—with quality they can feel and stories they’ll remember.
