GALLERY | 970 Blade Works

Executed and designed in Rifle, Colorado Each knife is built in Colorado , in limited numbers, without compromise. We build slowly, by design. Quality dictates pace — never demand.

Subtle variations in steel, grind, and natural materials ensure no two blades are identical. Premium Steels, Purpose Selected Only proven, high-performance steels are used — chosen for balance, durability, and refined edge retention. Precision Heat Treatment Each blade is heat treated for consistent performance and long-term reliability. Hand-Finished Details Every knife is individually ground, finished, and inspected. Nothing leaves the shop unfinished.

Designs prioritize balance, control, and real usability — with aesthetics that remain timeless.

Built for Generations These knives are designed to be used, maintained, and passed down.

Western Colorado demands tools that perform without question — in the field, on the ranch, and in daily use. That influence shows in every design: clean lines, functional geometry, and understated strength.

These knives are built to work first, and to be appreciated second.

970 Bladeworks intentionally produces a limited number of knives each year. This allows every blade to meet a personal standard of execution — not a production quota. If a knife doesn’t meet that standard, it doesn’t leave the shop.

Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty Every knife is backed for the life of the blade. If craftsmanship fails, we make it right. Clear, Direct Support No fine print. No delays. Personal accountability from us directly!

Each 970 Bladeworks knife balances utility and beauty, combining working geometry with a finish worthy of display. The result is a blade that belongs equally in the field or in a curated collection.

The End Goal The objective has never been volume or trends. It is to build knives that: • perform without hesitation • age with character • and remain relevant for generations Tools meant to be used, maintained, and passed down.
