Hello, and welcome to Great Lakes Custom Knives.

My focus is on quality materials and craftsmanship in the custom knives that I offer for sale, and from the knifemakers that I represent. My name is Bud Angelo, and I've tried to make GLCK an easy to navigate and enjoyable website, so please take your time and browse. I specialize in collectable custom folders, custom automatics, art knives, carved and engraved knives, and fixed blade knives made from hand forged damascus, stainless steel, and a wide variety of natural materials such as black lip, gold lip and white mother of pearl, Mammoth and Mastodon ivory, stone, gemstones, exotic woods, abalone, gold, and many others. Some knives feature man made materials as well. If you don't see what you are looking for, please contact me and I will be happy to try and find something for you from one of the many extremely talented knifemakers working today.

I have tried to describe each knife as accurately as I possibly can in a short paragraph. If you have questions that I have not answered in my descriptions, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you. I believe my prices are very fair, and I will back every purchase with the guarantee stated on the Contact/Purchase page. Please feel free to call or email with any comments or suggestions as to how I may make your visit more enjoyable. Thanks, and again, enjoy the knives.
