This is the top shelf, where we would shop ourselves. Every knife here is made in the USA by a small shop or specialty maker, and most are serialized, so the knife in the photos is the exact knife that ships to you.
We think it matters where things are made. That's why everything here at Lone Star Knife & Supply is USA Made. No sorting, no filtering, no exceptions.

Lone Star Knife & Supply proudly features Small Batch Makers whose capacity is significantly less than production makers. Many of these makers are producing knives in their garage, home shed, or small shop. Discover your new favorite knife.
We are big LynchNW fans here at LSKS. So it is quite the pleasure to carry an exclusive Swift Six and Sparrow Seven version! We also carry deep carry pocket clips for Benchmade and Spyderco knives.
Three Rivers Manufacturing, better known as TRM, has built a loyal following by producing lightweight, slicey, and incredibly well-built knives—all made in the USA. Their knives are known for tight tolerances, thoughtful design, and blades that cut like scalpels.
Benchmade knives are made in Oregon, USA and backed by a lifetime warranty and Lifesharp sharpening service. They are known for lightweight carry, excellent heat treats, and designs that balance real world use with long term durability.
We proudly recommend Holme & Hadfield as our preferred display cases of Lone Star Knife & Supply.
I only sell USA Made EDC products here at Lone Star Knife& Supply, but there simply isn’t a USA made alternative. So while we won’t sell it directly, I will direct you to their site to pick one up.
I love the Mojave, this is my second. Personally love the blade shape. Light, thin and disappears in my pockets. Both of my copies have had excellent action right out of the box. It has a quick and snappy open with a very smooth closure.
My only complaint is that I would prefer finer more grippy jimping on the blade and flipper tab.
Overall a wonderful knife, so much so I am thinking about a third, maybe in full DLC...
I will say, with my limited experience with OTF's, I've only ever owned 3 different brands, this is, by far, my favorite. Everything about it. From the contours on the handle to the single edge blade, as opposed to a spear point, to the amazing deployment thwack, this exceeded all of my expectations. I thought Microtech set the bar for OTF's and maybe they did but Core Edge edges out in front of them, in my opinion. The color is beautiful and the blade is ridiculously sharp. And Magnacut on the blade? What?! What more can one ask for? With the knife review being done let's switch to the Lone Star review. Chris is AMAZING to do business with. The process couldn't have been easier and bc I sent him some knives to list in The Backdoor my order was paid for. There's something special about someone who takes pride and lists specifically American made products. To rate my experience would be a 10/5. I love the Core Edge Pulsar and I love Lone Star. Now with the rewards program?! Fuggitaboutit!
The Martyr is a great knife from Heretic. The glass-blasted polymer handle really brings the weight down of this knife. Giving it the look of a big knife without the weight. As always a great shopping experience with Chris and Lone Star Knife and Supply.
The Martyr has polymer scales for that lightweight feel. It is light but feels solid in the hand. This was a great addition to my collection! Perfect size. A lot of blade for the money! Thanks, Lone Star, for another great product!
I avoided slipjoints for years and exclusively used locking knives. Recently I decided to try a few again and have found I like the simplicity and classic look. This ABW slipjoint is definitely the best of the bunch. It has become my favorite 5th pocket/secondary cary/just wanting something small around the house knife. The size is enough to do any light duty task and the weight is just enough to feel solid. I love the 45 degree milling lines on the scales. Simple, classy, and effective sums up this knife quite well.
Reviewing cordage is kinda funny. I bought it and an ultem bead for a pry I picked up here. Just wanted to give the shop a little love, and to my surprise they tied the bead and cordage to the pry. Good folks! Good products.
I love the look of the stepped milling pattern on the blade. Great action! It doesn't feel "mushy" on deployment like some button plunge locks. Its a great knife!
I love the native 5 and 15v. 15v is very easy to sharpen and gets really sharp. The down side is the burnt edges and I had other 15v from Spyderco chipped so you'll need to sharpen it again to make sure the burnt edge is gone.
As for Lonestar they are awesome with fast shipping and always including something unexpected in the order.
Knife is amazing. Can't believe the quality of this knife vs the price. Not to mention its USA made with a great leather sheath and an ulti clip to go with it. Perfect pocket fixed blade or just an everyday carry if you want on the belt. Great contours and texture on the handle and so far the knife has held up exceptionally. Love the more forward jimping and the elongated slot for the lanyard hole. I really recommend this knife.
Heretic really hit it out of the park with this one. The Martyr is the best combination of style, function, and budget. There is nothing out there that compares to this, at the price point. And as always a great shopping experience with Chris and Lone Star Knife and Supply.
First purchase from ABW and typically I wouldn’t expect much from a smaller maker but boy was I impressed. If you’re a fan of a snappy button lock this is definitely a knife you need to own. The profile of the blade was stunning and the opening was smooth out the box. With all things considered and the price point i definitely look forward to my next knife from ABW
