Toor Knives
After continually encountering extremely expensive knives in the marketplace, with long production times always attached to them, Connor Toor decided to take matters into his own hands. He started by building a forge in his San Diego backyard and then began crafting blades with a hammer and anvil.At some point, during long evenings lit by the glow of our forge and many quiet midnight hours spent carving handles, we became obsessed with perfectly crafting a handle and strategically shaping a blade. That obsession still defines and fuels every step of our production process, today.Before it arrives in your hands, each knife begins as a large sheet of stainless or high carbon steel that we source from a mill in Illinois. We then use our CNC waterjet to cut each blade into its mission specific shape. From there, we use modern machining technology, and a series of CNC vertical mills for perfect repeatability in all of our dimensions and tolerances to ensure every single blade™s final profile is precise.
