Steve Woods has been handcrafting high-performance blades in America since 1997. Steve is a master bladesmith, photographer, and storyteller based in Berryville, Arkansas, where he crafts each knife under the banner of Rock River Iron Works. With over two decades of dedicated experience forging custom blades from premium CPM 154 steel and incorporating his own background in photography and videography - Steve brings both artistic vision and rugged functionality to every piece he makes. Each blade is built “one at a time,” reflecting his hands‑on approach and commitment to quality.
Purpose-Built. Field-Tested.
From the battlefield to the backcountry, our knives are designed to perform when it matters most. Every design is born from experience and built for those who serve. Our blades have been carried by elite warriors, law enforcement, and first responders - people who rely on their tools to protect freedom and preserve life.
Built to Last. Backed for Life.
Every Rock River Iron knife is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship. If your blade ever fails due to our workmanship, we’ll repair or replace it, because tools made to endure should be backed by the same commitment. Normal wear, misuse, or abuse is not covered, but we’re always here to help keep your knife performing at its best.
