Welcome To McDowell Knives
Professional Knife Maker
My name is Osa McDowell and I would like to personally thank you for your interest in my knives. I'm a full time knife maker all my knives are handcrafted using nothing but the very best materials. I have been using ATS-34 steel to make my knife blades for the last twelve years. It has been tested and proven to be an excellent knife steel. Every knife I make is a part of me and when I'm working on it, it is my knife that I'm working on and not some customer that I might not even know. When I was learning to make knives I had a big advantage I had the two best critics in the world my Dad and my oldest brother. Even though my brother did not make knives he and my Dad both have keen eyes for details and details are what makes the difference. So when you order a knife from me you do not have to worry about the quality of the knife it is all there. Do I take pride in my work?
No not just Pride but I take American Pride in my work
My father J.B. McDowell, was making knives in Edmond, Oklahoma in the 1980's and in 1989 he taught me how to make knives. At that time I lived in Warwick, Oklahoma there are a few knives with the Osa McDowell Warwick, Ok stamp on them. In 1991 we moved to Fort Supply, Oklahoma from 1991 to 1993 they had the Osa McDowell Fort Supply, Ok stamp on them. In 1993 I changed the stamp to McDowell Fort Supply, Ok. In January of 2002 I changed the stamp back to Osa McDowell Fort Supply, Ok.
