Howdy, my name is Reid Totera, the founder and maker behind Garage Knife Shop. What started as a passion project in my backyard at 15 years old—with just a few dollars worth of tools—has grown into an almost full-time craft rooted in precision, creativity, and hard work. Each knife I make is completely handmade from start to finish in Kingsport, TN. I use 1095 high carbon steel and occasionally reclaimed files, shaping every blade through careful stock removal to ensure quality and character in every piece. No two knives are ever the same—each one is built to perform and made to last. Our most popular design, the Mountie, is lightweight, durable, and perfect for multipurpose use. Check it out now and see why it’s earned its reputation.
