About

Situated next to a serene creek at the back of a hollow in Dismal Tennessee, Rayan Downing creates one of a kind knives that blend the perfect balance of art and function. Only ethical, both local and imported, sustainable resources are used. His collection boasts a diverse assortment of aesthetics and functions, from every day use, hunting, and camping, to the high end kitchen cutlery prized by discerning chefs.

Raised in the backwoods of Tennessee, Rayan has owned and used knives since he was 8-years-old. They aren’t just tools to him, they’re an essential extension of his hands. He hand-crafts by him, in his personal quest for the perfect knife he always wished for. You’ll be proud to own any of his fine personal creations!

Rayan is also delighted to craft specially commissioned knives, and enjoys the creation process with his clients. Mix and match elements from previous creations or provide your own art! Email Rayan with any questions or orders today.
