We create knives that balance form and function—tools made to live with you, age well, and perform for a lifetime.
Where We Started
Monolith Knives began in 2013 with a simple goal: to make tools that belong in your life—and last a lifetime. What started as an experiment in blending sculpture, fabrication, and utility has grown into a small team committed to craft. We’ve carried our knives in pockets, packs, and kitchens, always learning from real use and refining our work along the way.
What We Make
We create tools for the kitchen, home, and wild. Inspired by tradition and guided by function, each piece is designed without compromise—built from trusted materials, made to perform, and crafted to bring beauty to everyday use.
"Design should be rooted in use and informed by history. A good knife holds those things without trying too hard."
—Nick Watson, Knifemaker
How We Think
We believe good design starts with real use. The best objects feel intuitive and get better with age. We design every knife with purpose—favoring clean forms, quality materials, and thoughtful details that support how people actually live.
