About Holdsworth Hunt Knives

Ed Holdsworth Hunt

Like most country people, I always find a knife in my pocket indispensable.

I started making my own knives about ten years ago when a much-loved knife I'd had for many years broke, and I attempted to create something to replace it.

Making knives became a passion as I experimented with different blades and different materials, and I am now a
full time knife maker, working from my home in Somerset.

The Knives

I make a variety of sheath knives, folding knives and kitchen knives. 

I use various different stain resistant steels, either Sandvik 14c28n, Damasteel RWL34 or Niolox for the blades.  For the handles, I use locally reclaimed timber, when it's available.  I also use some composite materials like micarta and G10, which creates a very durable handle. 
​The handles are shaped and hand-sanded, then lightly oiled using my own mix of oils.

For the bolsters and pommels you can choose between brass and copper. 
The leather for the sheaths is dyed-through vegetable tan shoulder from the UK; I use dark brown and chestnut, and also natural leather which is then dyed.  

Most of the knives are made to order, although occasionally I have a small amount of stock that I prepare in advance for specific markets and shows. 

If you're interested in purchasing a knife, please contact me to discuss the details.
