Steven Tedford Knives

Steven made me a new 8” knife, replaced a handle on a 30+ years old 6” knife and sharpened the rest of my knives. Totally satisfied with his service and craftsmanship. Highly recommend!!!

I bought a custom engraved fillet knife and a hunting/camping knife from Steven. The craftsmanship of these knives is literally out of this world. It was very easy for me to see just how passionate Steven is about making knives, but also how knowledgeable he is about metallurgy and woodworking.

I've already shown four of my neighbors and a few friends and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet lol. They're all in awe!

Thank you so much Steven!

Just received my first of Steven's knives today (Survival and Pairing knives).

The workmanship, quality, balance, sharpness, fit and finish of these knives is something I've never seen before. Truly amazing work Steven...I'll be putting in more orders for sure over the coming years and recommending you too anyone who will listen.

Steven made me a beautiful fillet knife in 2019. I brought it to him recently to get sharpened. Steven genuinely asked how I was enjoying the knife. I told him that I honestly do love the knife, however there were a few changes I would make if possible.

Steven insisted on creating me a new knife. He wanted me to be 100% happy with my purchase. He listened to my requests and had the new fillet knife ready within a week.

The new knife really is something special. I imagine it will be in the family for many years to come. Thank you Mr. Tedford.

Fantastic stuff! Ordered four knives for my groomsmen and Stephen had them crafted within a few weeks and shipped to my door. Quality and craftsmanship is through the roof. Will be buying again!

I had been struggling to find someone to sharpen my kitchen knives since we moved to Cobourg 2 years ago. My husband found Steven and we couldn’t be more pleased. My knives are sharper than when I purchased them! Steven is a great guy and has a very cool shop. I highly recommend him.

I have ordered many custom knives from Steven, ( big belly skinner, hunter, Bowie, machete) Even one of my knives was published in blade magazine! I highly recommend Steven. His attention to detail and customer service are impeccable. If you are looking for a knife for life this is your bladesmith!!! All the best and can’t wait for our next custom we collaborate on!

Updated. I still love his work and will be collaborating again soon on a custom piece.

I ordered a knife set as a gift for my hubby, I had no idea what he even needed. Steven helped me through the entire thing and not only put together exactly what he wanted but also at an amazing price and very last minute.
Ordering was so easy and I had the set faster than I ever expected. Great guy, fantastic service and knives that my extremely picky husbands loves.
I would and will be ordering again!

Steven Tedford is a professional craftsman and artisan. His knives are as rugged as they are attractive. Custom designed, handmade with care and serviced for life.

These exceptional blades and scabbards are ideal gifts for family and friends. Each knife is a family heirloom, engraved with your name, “Handmade in Canada” and with it’s own serial number.

My sons and I booked a workshop with Steven Tedford Knives, taking part in the design, crafting and finishing of knives individually fitted to each of our hands. At the end of the day we left with a sleek fillet knife, an Assassins Creed replica, and a skinning knife designed and created with Steven‘s professional guidance.

I highly recommend Steven Tedford Knives to any outdoorsman, craftsmen or culinary professional.

This humble and unassuming place was recommended by a dear and trusted friend.
I called Steven one morning this week to see if he was available to sharpen some kitchen knives for our family. The missus and I bought them 13 years ago and figured it was time. He said come on by, it'll only take a few minutes. Given the sheer consistency of reviews, I had nothing but confidence.
Steven had four of our knives sharpened in less than 10 minutes, and he assured me they'd be sharper than when they came out of the factory. He also made a recommendation for one of his own paring knives, if we were interested. After payment, I bid Steven adieu and toddled off along my merry way.

Well by the power of Greyskull, these knives could unhesitatingly cut a Buick in half. If the Titanic had this knife strapped to its bow, we'd be spared the appalling film...and the passengers would have arrived safely at their destination of course. I'm genuinely concerned that we'll go to chop some onions and wind up splitting the countertop abroad.
And I'll be back in the future to score a properly made knife.
Thanks very much, Steven!

I’ve had a few knives in the past and none of the even come close to the quality of the one that Steven made me. The great part was that as I am a 13 year old boy I’m really into this kinda stuff and Steven gave me a great learning experience by allowing me to make the knife with him, and from watching him make the knife I can tell you that everything is made with extreme care, and if you’re thinking about purchasing one there's no reason that you shouldn’t and a great plus is Steve will sharpen your knife for free for a life time.

Being in the military, having a small utility knife on ones person is a standard practice. After going through many different products it was suggested that I purchase a knife from Steven Tedford Knives.I first bought a knife for every day use both in the field and for general tasks. I soon discovered that the knife I purchased was of utmost quality and durability. The knife itself holds a razors edge, and I have yet in the last year and a half to have found it to dull or require any more maintained then keeping it clean and dry. I managed to break the tip off of the knife when I foolishly decided to use it to pry something apart. Steven had me immediately send it back to him to be reshape and fixed. His incredible craftsmanship shows with everything he produces.

After having my original knife for several months I made the decision to splurge and purchase a full kitchen knife set complete with a custom knife block/display board. I have had good quality kitchen knives my entire life, but they pale in comparison to the set I received. The high quality steel holds an edge well past anything I've ever owned in the past. The balance of each individual knife is near perfect, making hours of cutting and butchering a breeze. No longer have I received a blister from using a chefs knife all day, which is impressive to me.

I would highly recommend anyone to buy a set of knives. Not only is the quality well beyond anything you can buy at a high end store, but the warranty and customer service stands out well past anything else available on the market.

I have purchased a few of Steve Tedford’s knives and am very happy with then. Steven also worked on a family heirloom of ours. The knife has been handed down in our family from some time in the 18th century. He said it was an honour to bring it back to its original state. I would not trust anyone other then Steven to work on it. He went above and beyond for us to be able to keep this knife in our family.
I will always go to Steven when I need a new knife. Thanks again Steven

I have 3 knives from Mr Tedford. All are exceptional quality. The craftmanship is superior. Great salesman and a pleasure to speak with. Steven can design and build a knife fitted for your needs. I highly recommend.

I can not say enough about Steven and his knives. I have known Steven for 10 years and have seen nothing but quality, respect and professionalism put into his knives. His knives are not only like rare artwork, but shine with quality and pride. Steven puts everything he has into his work and it shows! I must also mention that this fine business sponsors the Perchin for MS charity Ice Fishing Event helping those fighting Multiple Sclerosis. TOP NOTCH BUSINESS!

Professional and amazing attention to detail. This is my second knife I've had made by
Steven Tedford; the latest was a custom build. Steven walked me through the process from start to finish ( which can be seen from videos he has made) ending in a amazing quality product backed by an exceptional warranty.

Steven made two great knives for me. The first knife he made was a antler fishing/hunting knife and the second a antler butcher knife. I put the order in to him and they were completed within the week. He is a great guy to deal with and wants to please his customers. I will be getting a third knife completed by him soon.

I have gotten 3 beautiful knives from Steven over the past 10 years. And have been very happy with them. Only problem is that it is sometimes hard to use such works of art for what they are meant for.

First and foremost Steven is one of the nicest individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting, his quality and attention to detail is impeccable. If you want a quality knife made from a TRUE craftsman THIS is the place to go.

Had some knives sharpened by Steven and they now are the sharpest they have ever been and I found steven to be a very thoughtful guy ,I would definitely recommend him to anyone.Thank you for the gift steven and thank you for bringing the knives back to life
