Alex Horn CruforgeV Awesome knife
This is just a fantastic knife. Flawless fit and finish, super thin behind the edge. It handle like a Ferrari. The service from District Cutlery is also the best in the industry and I could not recommend them more.

Alex Horn recently opened his own factory after years of apprenticeship under Murray Carter. As a Muteki bladesmith at Carter Cutlery, Alex made some beautiful knives and began learning how to form his own damascus and dial in his handle sculpting. His practice paid off when he won the 2019 season of Forged in Fire. His blades are thin and fast and his handles are beautiful and comfortable. Made in Oregon, made in the USA.
