Knife Makers The Center Cross Print E-mail
Sunday, 10 September 2006

Center Cross is a popular name in the field of knife-making. Their specialties are folders, fixed blades and forged blades. They claim that each of their knives is different from the rest of their products in one way or another. They keep adding on more designs, styles and types of knives so that knife collectors never get bored. Let’s find out some more about Center Cross and how successful they have been in knife-making since 1981.

Center Cross has some of the best knives to offer in terms of quality, price and simplicity. They use stainless steel, wood and some other materials to make strong and beautiful knives. Fixed-blade knives come with a leather sheath. Forged-blade knives are mostly hand-forged and are of beautiful shapes and designs. Some of them come with a handle, others without one. They are easy to handle and kept in a sheath to protect their blades.

What stands them out from other knife-makers is their use of special materials like pearl handles, Damascus bolsters, mirror or satin finishes and stainless steel blades. Another unique feature of Center Cross is the use of natural materials to make handles. They mostly use rosewood, ebony, cocobolo, micarta wood etc. Special materials like ivory and horn can be ordered for a custom-made knife with an additional charge.

Center Cross even helps you out in building your own knives. On their website you can find a section on "how to" videos that explain the process of knife-making from scratch. You can read about the materials they use and how exactly they hand-forge their knives. Most of their products give out a look of antique blades and handles and would appeal to anyone who is a lover of ancient things and collectibles.

You can visit their online store at www.centercross.com. Here you can browse through a collection of folders and blades to see which one will be best suited to your cutting needs. You can even contact the maker and ask any questions that may pop up in your mind while looking at their exquisite collection. To place an order you can simply e-mail them with the name of product you would like to buy or call them at their telephone number.
