Custom Knife Services

There is no deeper way to honor a hunt than to let the animal live on as art above your hearth. At Great Basin Knife Company, we welcome the jawbone, leg bone, or antlers from the animal you harvested—or the perfect shed antler you discovered on a high ridge—and transform them into breathtaking decorative obsidian knives meant to be cherished, displayed, and passed down through generations.

Send us the jaw of a elk that tested your skill, the matched crown of your greatest bull, or a quiet collection of sheds gathered over years of walking the mountains, and we will craft a single masterpiece or an entire matched gallery set. Every style in our collection is available: dramatic jaw-bone handles, regal antler-tine daggers, beaded, primitives, scrimshawed buffalo ribs, Alaskan ulus on custom stands—whatever best tells your story. We can add traditional Native beadwork, a etched wolf paw print, a fluted Clovis point, or leave the bone exactly as the land shaped it.

These are heirloom sculptures born of respect. The elk that fed your family now watches over your home, the mule deer you earned now rests in timeless beauty, the coyote you called across the snow now guards your legacy. A custom knife from your own hunt becomes living memory—proof that nothing was taken in vain and everything was returned as enduring art.

Bring us your trophies, your stories, your quiet moments in the wild. We will listen, we will honor, and together we will create decorative blades that keep the spirit of your hunt alive forever.
