One-of-a-Kind Hand Made Knives
Camping, Hunting, Fishing, Kitchen, Collector.
Welcome to Ostech Tactical Custom Knives.
I proudly manufacture custom made knives to my design or yours. All knives are completely hand made using traditional blacksmith and metal working techniques.
All blades can be finished in any way you can imagine from basic daily knives to specific chef knives, hunting and skinning knives, camp knives and full blown presentation pieces for the ultimate gift to your loved one.
Hand forged in house and to order Damascus and San Mai steel blades also available along with hand worked leather sheaths or in house made Kydex for all of our blades if required.
I specialise in High Carbon steel blades for ultimate performance in the field or in the kitchen. These blades will last a lifetime and give the user the satisfaction of owning a one of a kind knife.
Clients can choose and specify every aspect of their piece from style, steel type based on proposed use, handle scale type, decorative filework or pattern etching, etc, etc. You dream it, I will personally work with you to make it a reality.
All blades come with a certificate of manufacture which outlines all aspects of manufacture, blade hardness, care, and materials used.

About Ostech Tactical Custom Knives
How We Got Here
Ostech Tactical was born from my love of the great outdoors and all it offers.
I soon developed a great appreciation for the necessity and versatility a good blade offers when camping, hunting, fishing, hiking and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. A good quality blade makes any cutting task a much more enjoyable experience.
All of our knives are 100% made in house and are crafted one unit at a time. I do not mass produce and all are unique to themselves. Handle scale timbers are naturally sourced Australian hardwoods from Redgum, Native Cherry, Spotted Gum, and many more and stabilised by us prior to use. Resin handle scales are all manufactured by us and no two are ever alike.
Damascus and San Mai steels are hand made with Forge, hammer, and Anvil. No power hammers or hydraulic presses are used.
We are happy to manufacture blades to all levels of finish. From daily use camp knives and skinners to the highest of finish cased presentation pieces.
All of our blades both outdoor and kitchen are manufactured from high carbon steels and high carbon spring steels. Offering superb edge retention, blade stability and strength, and years of service.
Sheaths are all hand made in either hand worked tooling leather or heat formed Kydex. Personalisation options are limitless including hand made presentation boxes, plaques, and specific etching, name etching, etc.
We will always have blades ready for immediate purchase in very small numbers but orders are welcome with a leed time of 4 to 6 weeks from date of payment.
Feel free to contact us anytime to discuss your personal blade needs, queries, and blade requirements.
