Honoring the Heritage
As we continue to grow, our appreciation for this traditional craft grows, and every day we work hard to pay homage to the history and heritage of bladesmithing. We are driven by the idea of bringing back this lost art. There are not many trades that can be traced back as far as knife making, and this is because there has always been one purpose or another for a good sharp tool. Our primitive instincts to fight have fueled innovation to develop effective tools to gain an upper hand. As one contender grows strong, the other must grow stronger. As one develops skills, tactics, and weapons, so must the other. This is the art of adaptation and natural selection. Like a malleable piece of clay, constant adjusting to its surroundings and enemies alike.

As many of you know, from receiving our knives, that they are tools. Yes, they are pretty attractive, but ultimately, we started producing knives so that my brother and I would have solid blades that last a lifetime. In turn, we felt others would want the same things and we were correct on that. Grinding into the night, working to produce blades that will someday be passed down as heirlooms.
Loadout Room Reviews The Serpent
The good folks over at The Loadout Room were kind enough to write up a review on our new Serpent. Checkout the review below:
Toor Knives is another small American made brand, not many have heard about. They make a line of semi custom fixed blade knives to address the problem of our military and law enforcement using sub-par knives in their loadouts. Toor Knives is owned and operated by two brothers. Not only are they blood brothers, but both have served in the military as well. Here is their story…
Who Are the Toor Brothers
Your average American suburban kids, raised on little league baseball and Sunday night cook outs... Twin brothers with a colorful imagination and the never-ending spirit to create. Born and raised in the beautiful city of San Diego, we were gratefully afforded opportunities that not everyone had. From the time we were in Junior High, our creative spirit lead us to tinker with our father's tools and the endless resources of the woodland terrain across from our home. Our first creations were Janky sling shots, bows and arrows and wooden spears made from scavenged tree limbs and cargo bungees. As we learned the mechanics behind basic tools and how they worked, we decided we were best suited for jobs that involved working with our hands.
