Welcome to Jim Hammond Knives, 
Thank you for your interest. Please take a moment and enjoy the website. After receiving my B.S. degree from Clemson University in 1977, I returned home to Alabama and became a full-time professional knifemaker, becoming a member of the Knifemakers Guild in 1978, and currently serve as State Leader for Alabama. Since 1981, with the development of the SEALTAC©, my emphasis and focus has been toward specialized edged weapon systems designed for special warfare applications - Special knives for special forces™.
For collectors desiring greater artistic flair beyond the military version (MV) styling, I offer collector grades (CG), with several shown having varying degrees of custom embellishment. In addition, orders for certain custom work and "one of a kind" pieces are accepted. Since 1994, as the first custom knifemaker selected for a custom design collaboration, I have been a production knife designer for Columbia River Knife & Tool. I am a member of Rotary International and serve as the Assistant Governor Coordinator for Rotary District 6860, as a Rotary International Faculty Trainer, and was Team Leader for the district’s Group Study Exchange Team to Norway in 2006. Jim Hammond knives bear my own distinctive mark of creativity and craftsmanship. First and foremost, my designs are functional to the max. In addition, by combining striking grinds and flowing lines which enhance each design, each knife from my shop reveals a work of art that is ready for the task. When you hold a Jim Hammond knife for the first time-absorbed by its comfort and feel, its balance and shape, celebrating the perfection of line throughout-you will realize in that moment why quality is worth the price. My sincere appreciation extends to all my customers throughout the world who have enjoyed my creative efforts throughout these many years. In His service, |
