WELCOME
Welcome to Old Scratch Knives. Here, you’ll find blades made for real-world use—tools designed to be carried, not cased. Every knife comes with its own character, marked by the hands that shaped it. You might see tool marks, blemishes, or signs of the process, but that is part of the story. These knives are not mass-produced or polished to perfection. They are built with intention for people who rely on their gear.
Hogg Series
The Hogg Series is where it all started. Born from a need for dependable blades with real backbone, this collection reflects a working mindset and a no-frills approach to knife making. Every piece in the series carries a balance of simplicity and strength, with forms that speak to purpose, not polish.
Built for those who put their tools to the test, the Hogg Series isn't about trends or flash. It's about legacy—reliable designs that earn their place by being used, not just admired. Whether you're in the field or around the shop, these blades are built to be a steady companion.
More from the Hogg Shed
Not every blade comes from the same mold, and not every job calls for the same knife. This collection features one-of-a-kind pieces and specialty designs that do not fall under the Hogg Series. Whether it is a compact skinner or a sleek camp knife, these knives are crafted with the same attention to detail, grit, and purpose as every blade that leaves the Hogg Shed.
Explore what is fresh off the bench. Each knife tells its own story, shaped by hand and built to be used.

"I have hundreds of knives, and this one is by far my favorite! The precision craftsmanship is noticeable throughout the knife. The handle fits perfectly for big jobs like chopping, while maintaining tight control for skilled carving. I put this knife to the test against thick wood, metal siding, and black poly pipe. It outperformed my best knives and never lost an edge. Every detail was constructed with purpose for specific uses. The weight of the blade feels confident in getting any job done. This will be my forever knife!"
