Kowhai Forge Knives – Built to Work, Made to Last

Handcrafted from high-carbon spring steel, Kowhai Forge knives are forged to finish — with only the final edge refined using modern tools. The result is a blade that combines traditional craftsmanship with real-world performance.

Each knife features a tough, long-lasting cutting edge with a flexible spine, achieved through time-tested tempering techniques. Designed using balanced proportions, these knives feel just as good in hand as they perform in the field or the shed.

Handles are made from locally sourced ancient rata, giving every piece a unique, distinctly New Zealand finish.

At Shooter Ready, we stock a practical range built for hunters and processors:
