Arclight Bladeworks
ABOUT US
David Johnson, CEO
Arclight Bladeworks was founded in 2013 as a division of Arclight Enterprises, Inc. The business is located in Macon, Georgia.
As a knife enthusiast myself, I was introduced to the art of forging knives by a talented knife maker and friend, Spencer Jamison of Shallow Grave Knives. I was hooked on making knives from that one weekend seminar, and began my quest to develop the skills and technique necessary to produce a quality hand-made knife at a reasonable price.
It was through this hobby, that I learned the truth to why hand-made knives are never inexpensive. The care, attention, time, effort, sweat, and, yes, sometimes blood, put into making even the smallest and plainest blade is beyond measure. It is the heart and soul of the knife maker that goes into each and every knife they make.
As I made knives for family and friends, I found that this was becoming more than a hobby to myself. It became more than even a passion, and it became something I wanted to share with others. For that reason, I started this company.
My goal is to make a quality knife. A knife that you will be proud to own, and one that you will not be afraid to use. In fact, I WANT my knives to be used. I want them to be taken to the field, to help build a fire, to help skin that trophy deer, to slice the evening meal for the campfire. Take my knife and use it, that is what it is for.
Remember, a knife is a tool... use it, create with it, and build with it.
