J & E Knives isn't just a store — it's a community of makers, artists, and collectors. Here's a look at the partners who make what we carry special.
Why We Partner With Independent Makers
The knife world is full of mass-produced options. We're not interested in those. What excites us — and what we think excites you — are pieces with a story behind them. That means working directly with independent makers, small studios, and artists who put genuine craft into every piece they produce.
3 Dog Knife Works
3 Dog Knife Works brings a rugged, no-nonsense approach to custom knife making. Their pieces are built to be used, not just admired — though they're plenty admirable. Expect solid steel choices, practical geometry, and the kind of fit and finish that only comes from a maker who genuinely cares about the end product.
Dragonflies and Lillie's Handmade Jewelry
Not every piece in a knife collection has to be a blade. Dragonflies and Lillie's brings handcrafted jewelry and accessories that complement the EDC aesthetic beautifully. Their work appeals to collectors who appreciate handmade craft across categories.
TKO Creations
TKO Creations rounds out our partner roster with distinctive custom work that pushes creative boundaries. Their pieces tend to attract collectors who want something genuinely different — not another production run variant, but something with real artistic intent.
Hound Designs & StreetwiseZed
You've likely already seen their work — the Atomic Shipwreck collection has become one of our most talked-about offerings. The collaboration between Hound Designs and StreetwiseZed proves what's possible when knife culture meets serious artistic vision.
