Rosenbaugh Knives beautiful hand-made custom hunting knives

May 17, 2012:  I apologize for not updating in the last couple months.  I have had several family issues that have kept me out of the shop and making new knives.  I will be focusing over May and June to get some new material out.  My backlog has dropped some so if you would like a custom, please give me a call as lead time is 3-4 months.  I will be posting the new blades as soon as they are built.  More to come soon! 

Welcome to RosenbaughKnives.com!   I am Ron Rosenbaugh, the creator of the handmade custom knives that you will see on these pages.  I have been a hunter (with a passion for bowhunting) and occasional fisherman for over 50 years.  I grew up in New Mexico and hunted the Rocky Mountain West and the West Coast states for many species of big and small game.

I now live in Illinois and enjoy hunting Midwest whitetail deer, turkey, and other game.   I have gained a lot of experience in what makes a good hunting knife, having used many types over the years.  I have, over my life, always sketched my ideas of what would make a good hunting knife; several years ago I met a custom knifemaker who was generous in helping me achieve my dream – to make custom knives and to also help others make their dream knife a reality.  As my skills have developed in the last few years, in addition to my hunting knives, I have started making some tactical knives and Japanese cord wrapped Kozuka,  Tanto, and kiradashi style knives.  It is a lot of fun being able to conceptualize a blade and put it into steel.  The options are almost limitless.

My greatest satisfaction is working with a customer to make a fully custom knife from the materials that the customer wants.  Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your dream knife.

I also have some inventory, which can be viewed in the Available Knives section of the site.  If you are interested in one of those knives, or a modification of one for a custom knife, shoot me an email using the Contact Us page.

Please stop and visit with me at the knife shows I will display at in 2011 and 2012:
