What It Is
Nothing Like This Has Been Done Before

The Great American Knife Tour is not a trade show. It is not a product launch. It is a road trip dedicated entirely to celebrating the people who forge, grind, and assemble American-made knives right here on domestic soil.

Over 17 days, we are going door to door across the eastern United States, sitting down with the makers behind some of the most respected names in the knife community, and bringing those conversations back to you. Raw, real, and on camera.

Why It Matters
American Knives. American Makers. American Stories.

Every knife we carry at Lone Star Knife and Supply is made in the USA. That is not a marketing claim. It is the entire foundation of this business. This tour exists to show you exactly what that means, one shop at a time.

Inside the Shop

We are going where the knives are actually made. Not a showroom. Not a booth. The real shop floor, with the people who show up every day and build something with their hands.

🎥

On Camera

Every stop is filmed. Long-form maker interviews, short-form content, and live moments from the road. All of it goes directly to you across every platform we are on.

🏠

Buying American

When you buy a knife from an American maker, you are buying someone's livelihood, their family business, and their belief that domestic manufacturing is worth fighting for. We think that story deserves to be told.

💉

Limited Exclusives

Select stops will result in limited-run, tour-exclusive products. Numbered editions tied to specific makers and locations. Details coming as the tour approaches.

250

Coinciding With America's 250th Birthday

In 2026, the United States turns 250 years old. The Great American Knife Tour launches that same summer, on purpose. Few crafts are more woven into the American identity than the knife. From frontier tools to military issue to everyday carry, the blade has been part of this country since the beginning. We think Year 250 is exactly the right time to go out and celebrate the people still making them here.
