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 got in the Whitetail Cub Combo and I must say I am impressed! I?ve long made due with whatever knife I had, usually a premium multi-tool or a hand-me-down Case from my Dad for skinning game, but as the wild hogs have invaded our land in Southern Oklahoma and myself an avid hunter I dreamt of having a knife that was a real hunting knife. KOA was all I would consider. Their knives are field tested in the most rugged conditions and hold up year after year, not to mention they are practical in ways that leave other knives in the dust, make then a no brainer for a hunter or outdoorsman that wants quality and durability, but will not give up performance. I just want to let you know how much I love my KOA knives!

I have used Knives of Alaska knives for years. I am a deer hunter and use the caper most of all and all of the other members constantly borrow my caper. We have 15 members in our club, so you can imagine how much use my caper sees. KOA beats all other brands. Hands down the best knives I?ve ever owned. My KOA knives skin and process an average of 13-28 deer a season. Thanks for the knives I would trust my life with in the woods. CAN'T BEAT KOA.

My daughter recently asked me for a knife suggestions for her husband and I couldn't wait to tell her how happy I am with your knives. I have gutted, skinned and butchered an entire white tail deer with a cub bear not having to sharpen it at all during the process. I would not believe that had I not done it myself. You make a great product!

I just wanted to thank you for your amazing service. Not only was my knife replaced with a brand new one, but even my shipping costs were reimbursed. You are one amazing company and I,m proud to carry your product. Thank you!
