Custom Knives by Daniel Koster

 

I hope you find this website useful and informative. Perhaps you are visiting for the first time, perhaps you are a returning customer. Either way, you and your input are important to me.

If you are interested in looking at examples of my work, please visit my Gallery.

To place an order, visit the orders page and enter the Order Tracker.

Occasionally, I will put knives up for sale on the Available page.

It is easier, however, to see all of the above on the Koster Knives Forum on Bladeforums.com. (membership may be required, but is free).

Read my Bio, look into my Design Process, learn more about the Convex Edge, and take a tour of my Shop.

If you have any questions, check the FAQ first - otherwise feel free to email me for any reason under the sun (button at the bottom every page).

Please have a look around - you can navigate most of the website through the links near the top of the page - below the topmost photo. Go to the Galleries to see my most recent work.

If you see something you like, head over to Orders for more information. Or check the Knives Available section to see what is available for immediate shipment.

I am also setting up tables at various knife shows around the US and would be delighted to meet you there.

Enjoy the website!

Updates/News:

Oct. 6, 2007

- Major overhaul of KosterKnives.com has begun!!!

- Keep your eyes on the Gallery page - updates forthcoming!

 

Dec. 16, 2005

- Major update! It is now official: The Order Tracker - a place for customers to be able to enter knife orders and keep track of the progress. Also, to check out the different knife options and get immediate feedback on cost. It is accessed from the Orders page and requires registration.

I have always been interested in ways to improve the way I work and transact with my customers. The Order Tracker is the modern knifemaker's virtual secretary. My sincere hope is that it will reduce the time I spend keeping track of orders and that ultimately, my customers will love it. Give it a whirl!
