Hintze Custom Knives History

My name is Jake Hintze.  I've always had a passion for metal work. I've always been the guy that says "I can make that". My passion for knives came from the need for a better knife made the way I wanted it.  I started making knives in early 2015.  I had never really intended to sell my knives and certainly never thought someone would pay good money for one.  I was very surprised when after seeing some of my work people started asking how much for me to make them one.  My craft quickly grew and I knew I had to follow this path. 

I'm currently making knives part time while still working as a full time Flight Paramedic. I pump out knives as fast as I can while still working. It is my goal to make every knife better than the last. To most my knives look great and have no imperfections. To me there is always something I could have done better and I will never stop seeing my knives that way.  I truly want the best product to go to you.  These knives are meant to be used and abused while asking for more.  Looks are important but function is number one.
