ABOUT US

Hephaestus Machine Works is a family-owned knife company founded by brothers Alex and Cory in Orange County, CA. What began as a passion for precision machining has evolved into a line of uniquely crafted knives—designed, engineered, and made 100% in the USA.

Hephaestus is the god of fire, blacksmiths, and craftsmanship. We chose the name because it reflects our roots in machining and the raw, transformative process of making tools that last.

We don’t flood the market or chase trends. Our drops are small-batch and design-forward, made with tight tolerances and hard-working steel. Whether you’re cutting, collecting, or just obsessed with quality—these blades are made to be carried.
