Peter Wile has been a member of the CKG since 1995 and has been making knives since 1983. His knives are made by hand with the exception of hole drilling and some grinding to remove the bulk of the steel. He says, “My philosophy on folders is that each one, no matter how fancy, is built as a solid, working knife first and foremost. The one thing thing that all owners comment on is that these folders operate as smooth as silk.”

Styles: Folders (standard or one of a kind) hunters to fighters.
