About us
David R. Beck, owner & sole craftsman, is a full-time professional knife & tool maker, & life-long student of primitive survival-living/bushcraft skills. With over 40-years experience crafting custom knives, Dave has also worked closely with Elite military, top survival experts & outdoor enthusiasts from around the world to develop a deep understanding of knife design, ergonomics, materials, & manufacturing techniques essential for crafting professional grade tools that excel in wilderness settings.
Although best known as the actual designer/maker of the original TRACKER Wilderness Survival Knife (WSK) used by Benicio Del Toro in the 2003 Paramount Pictures film The "HUNTED", our reputation as a trusted maker also extends to our more traditionally-designed work knives.
