Backcountry Blades was built on a family tradition of craftsmanship, hard work, and a deep respect for quality knives. My name is William Rex, and I am proud to carry forward the knowledge and skills I learned from my father.
From an early age, I was introduced to the world of knife making, forging, and craftsmanship. My father taught me that making a great knife is about more than shaping steel—it is about patience, attention to detail, choosing the right materials, and creating something built to be trusted.
What began as a family tradition grew into Backcountry Blades, where we continue to combine traditional craftsmanship with carefully sourced knives and materials. Based in New Jersey, USA, we focus on forging, crafting, and sourcing quality knives for people who appreciate dependable tools and timeless designs.
Every knife we offer represents our commitment to craftsmanship and the values passed down through our family. Whether you are an outdoorsman, hunter, collector, or simply someone who appreciates a well-made blade, our goal is to provide knives that you can be proud to own and use.
At Backcountry Blades, we believe a knife should have character, purpose, and lasting quality. We are honored to continue our family’s tradition and share that passion with customers who value authentic craftsmanship.
