AMERICAN MADE. PURPOSE BUILT.
Cumberland Knife and Tool combines precision manufacturing, modern technology, and proven craftsmanship to build tools designed for real-world use.
AMERICAN MADE
Exceptional knives and tools manufactured in the United States.
PRECISION MANUFACTURED
Modern machining, advanced materials, and efficient manufacturing provide consistency and performance.
BUILT TO LAST
Working tools designed around real-world durability and performance.
THE FIRST PRODUCTION RUN
The first production run of Cumberland Knife and Tool knives is underway.
Made in Tennessee from CPM 3V and built for real-world use, this first run is limited to 70 knives.
MADE IN TENNESSEE
We believe American manufacturing can compete through better processes, better technology, and an uncompromising focus on quality.
CKT combines precision machining, modern abrasives, advanced steels, automation, lean manufacturing, and skilled finishing. We use technology where it produces a better result and craftsmanship where craftsmanship matters.
PROFESSIONAL SHARPENING
Cumberland Knife and Tool provides professional sharpening, repair, and reconditioning for kitchen, outdoor, hunting, and utility knives, along with scissors, shears, and garden tools. From home kitchens and workshops to professional restaurants and commercial operations, CKT provides expert sharpening throughout Middle Tennessee. Mobile and on-location commercial sharpening available.
BUILDING BETTER KNIVES STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY'RE USED.
CKT's professional sharpening work puts us in direct contact with home cooks, professional chefs, restaurant kitchens, hotels, and commercial operations throughout Middle Tennessee. We see firsthand how knives perform under daily use — how edges wear, how steel holds up, where geometry fails, and what separates a knife that lasts from one that doesn't.
That knowledge doesn't stay in the sharpening shop. It directly influences how CKT designs and manufactures its knives.
BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE
Founded in Tennessee in 2024, Cumberland Knife and Tool grew from experience in precision manufacturing, CNC machining, military service, and an appreciation for quality tools.
Make things that work. Build them to last. Continuously improve how they are made.
BUILT TO BE USED. BACKED FOR THE LONG HAUL.
We don't consider our responsibility finished when a knife leaves the shop. CKT knives are backed by a lifetime warranty and complimentary sharpening for the life of the knife.
Use it. Dull it. Send it back. We'll put the edge back on it.
