Chuck Hawes Knives

Chuck Hawes has been crafting custom knives full-time since 1995, working out of his shop in the small town of Weldon, Illinois. Known for forging his own damascus steel, Chuck takes pride in making each knife by hand—one at a time. While many collectors admire his work, his knives are designed to be used as they are sturdy, functional, and thoughtfully made for everyday tasks.
