Letter from the President

A person's choice of outdoor gear, especially that of hunters and fishermen, is a source of personal pride and satisfaction. That doesn't mean you must have the most expensive gun, rod, knife, boots, or whatever, but the gun should be clean, well maintained, and accurate. Your knife should shave, and hopefully the boots will be well broken-in before tackling a major extended hunt. As outfitters in Alaska, we have guided hunters and fishermen into the Alaskan bush for years. One fact is - and has always been -  each man's gear is going to play a major role in determining his success, comfort, and enjoyment.

At Knives of Alaska, we understand what it means to rely on your gear. We've never lost sight of the fact that the knife of a dedicated hunter, fisherman or outdoorsman has two important aspects. First, and most important, it is a precision tool that must perform the task at hand efficiently, safely, and reliably time after time, year after year. Second, a man's knife is an investment and one of his personal objects of pride. It is a measuring stick among his peers.

We make award-winning outdoorsman's knives that are used and respected by some of the best professional guides and outfitters, hunters, and other outdoorsmen in Alaska, and across the globe. To say that our knives are field-tested is an understatement. We carry them across Southeast Alaska's glacier fields, through swamps, across tundra, and in the mountains, using them in all manner of chores. If something doesn't work, it gets corrected or eliminated in a hurry!

All of our knives, from our new line of folders to our award winning cleavers, our hatchets, combination sets, and fixed blade hunters, are quality outdoor cutlery for the self-reliant outdoorsman who demands the very best in his gear. It doesn't matter if you're hunting whitetails in a local woodlot or after a big Alaskan brown bear, your gear will still be one of the things that sets you apart and makes the hunt more enjoyable. Our promise to you is that our lifetime guaranteed knives are made to exacting quality standards that will ensure satisfaction and pride of ownership. They work for us in the harsh field conditions of bush Alaska-and they will work for you, time after time, year after year-wherever you hunt or fish.

Thank you for your confidence in our products. Enjoy the great outdoors and be sure to take a youngster hunting and fishing with you.

Charles Allen,

President and Owner

What They're Saying
I just bought a Handmade Series knife. The certificate of ownership was dated Aug. 28, 1998, so it has been in the stores display case a long time. The bone handle had some greenish discoloration and bone deterioration from sitting so many years. I was told by Knives of Alaska to send the knife in for warranty. My knife came back from and looks great. Thanks very much for the speedy and thorough warranty service. I really appreciate the follow-up. Knives of Alaska really do stand behind their quality products.

"Thank you so much for calling/emailing to clarify about the extra sheath. That tells me that Knives of Alaska is truly concerned with complete customer satisfaction, which is so hard to find this day and time. Again that is very much appreciated and it's a pleasure doing business with you."

I just want to thank you guys for being the Best Knives in
the world! I recently mailed you a knife that I've had for 15 maybe 20 years and it broke. I mailed it in and I quickly received my new one plus postage! Thank you for making and servicing the best knives in the world!

Just wanted to take a moment and tell you that I am very impressed with the KOA knives. I currently own , 2 feather weights and the extreme survival. They are well made knives that hold a fantastic edge, looks great, and best of all Made in the USA. I have quite a few knives as I am an avid outdoorsmen but really, really love the KOA ones ! Even been up there to Alaska on a few survival missions in the bush alone.. so the importance of a great knife is a matter of life and death.

Just wanted to say great job and looking forward to purchasing many more to add to my growing KOA collection.

I would like to express my appreciation to you for the fine knives you are making. I purchased a Light Hunter Combo last year, and to date have cleaned over 2300 ducks and geese with it, without sharpening the Cub Bear even once. This is a testament I share with all my friends when they ask me what knife they suggest. I purchased the Muskrat a few weeks back t try it on tout and have never in 30 years of fishing been so impressed by a knife. I have the fillet knives you produce as well, however for trout the Muskrat makes fast order of time.
