Hoback knives are an American-owned and operated company consisting of patriotic people of faith, including military veterans, previous government employees, scientific technicians, hard-working machinists, and residents of several states. We strive to represent God in the best possible way, and to “Make Tools, Not Trophies.”

We utilize many different avenues and methods to produce our products. Our shop in Idaho has a full set of capabilities to design, make, machine, fit, assemble, finish, clean, inspect, package, ship, sharpen, and repair. We pride ourselves on the quality of our knives and the quality of our customer service, and always seek to exceed the expectations of our dealers and end-customers. As our company has continued to grow, we have been working hard to match our manufacturing capacity with increasing demand. We are in the process of building a new, larger shop in Idaho (near our current shop, and scheduled for completion in the summer of 2022). We also intend to take greater advantage of the global economy to source and/or manufacture many of our parts and products – in countries like Japan, Hong Kong , Finland, China, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Europe, and Canada. We are always looking for better places and ways to do things – with the goal of making the best possible products at prices commensurate with the quality of our designs, the materials we choose, and their overall function.

Occasionally, we are asked where our products are made… While everything is designed by me, personally, and everything we sell comes through or directly from our shop, not everything is 100% made in America. We seek to use the best the world has to offer to make some of the best tools on earth, and sometimes that means we must draw upon global sources – often because domestic sources are unavailable, of poor quality, or are cost prohibitive.
