Mohr’s Custom Knives
MOHR CUSTOM KNIVES is located in Dandridge, Tennessee at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Our shop can be found in deep woods of East Tennessee. We forge hand made knives, and teach knife making and bladesmithing classes.
MOHR CUSTOM KNIVES consists of father and son team, Rick and Tom Mohr. They have spent decades acquiring the skills pertaining to custom knife making and Tom began forging in 2006. He does all the forging, heat treating, grinding, shaping, polishing and designing of handles.
Most blades are hand forged on-site, using time-honored knife making techniques. Other blades are hand ground by using the stock removal method. This is done by cutting circular saw blades, band saw blades, car leaf-springs or even old files and turning these items into a work of art; a custom, handmade knife that can be used for a lifetime.
They love sharing the craft, so if you are looking for knife making classes in Tennessee or want to tackle bladesmithing, check out their schedule to book a knife making class online.
Tom is an ABS apprentice and was awarded a scholarship to Haywood Community College by the American Bladesmith Society, a scholarship awarded to only three people a year in the United States.
