My name is Jordan LaMothe. I am a knife maker and blacksmith based in Hebron, NY, and I make a wide variety of cutting tools, from hunting knives to high-end kitchen knives to historically-inspired swords and daggers. I have been working with metal since 2009 and I started making knives full-time in 2017. I am a Master Smith in the American Bladesmith Society, a title I earned in June 2021. I teach knife making regularly at numerous craft schools around the country, and I have written articles for Blade Magazine and given lectures and demonstrations at knife-making and blacksmithing events.

I make knives because they are some of the most fundamental tools of humankind – tools that nearly every person on the planet uses on a regular basis. Making knives allows me to work in a variety of different media: steel, wood, leather, non-ferrous metals; and to apply all the specific working techniques those materials require to a final product that is both beautiful and useful and participates in the advancement of a craft that is as old as humanity itself.

My order books are currently closed, but I still make knives to sell from time to time, which will be posted for sale on my newsletter. Subscribe at the bottom of the page to be notified about any available work.
