Bradford Knives
In 2012, Brad Larkin decided to take his entrepreneurial spirit, years of manufacturing experience, and his love for knives and start up Bradford Knives. Since that time, Bradford Knives have supplied thousands of high quality, American-made outdoor knives and kitchen knives to all types of people.
Already in the manufacturing industry when he started, Brad had developed long lasting relationships with vendors giving him the ability to buy the super steels needed that would become a hallmark of his knives. Bradford Knives make their blades from a variety of stainless steels like Bohler N690 and Crucible CPM S30V as well as super steels such as Bohler M390 and Crucible CPM 3V steels in their knives. The knives are not only attractive and comfortable, but they were designed, crafted and created by Brad himself, a lifelong knife user. He uses both survival knives, for hiking, camping and other outdoor activities, and EDCs, for warehouse and manufacturing tasks and as an everyday tool.
