Our Knives

What blade steel are Micron Knives made from?

Our knives are crafted from the best powder steels money can buy. We currently offer our knives in CPM 3v, CPM MagnaCut, and Böhler K890. We are working on bringing MagnaMax to the table soon.

Micron Knives come with your choice of various G10/FR4, linen micarta, or canvas micarta scales. Everyone has a preference, so we give you the choice. All scales are machined and micro-textured for the perfect fit and finish you can expect from a Micron knife.

Yes, every Micron Knife comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath. Each sheath is designed to securely hold the knife, ensuring a perfect fit for safe carry and easy deployment. Kydex is highly durable, resistant to wear and tear, and provides excellent retention, making it the ideal material for protective knife sheaths.

All Micron Knives are designed and manufactured in the USA, ensuring the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Although we do outsource the heat treatment, everything else is made here in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

At this time, Micron Knives does not offer custom engraving or modifications. However, the team is always working on expanding options, so stay tuned for future updates.

Yes, the G10 handle scales on Micron Knives are fully removable, allowing for customization and maintenance. Once removed, the knife reveals a skeletonized full tang blade, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity. This design makes the knife highly versatile—users can wrap the tang with paracord for a lightweight survival setup or leave it exposed for an ultralight carry option. The removable scales also make cleaning easier, especially after heavy outdoor use where dirt, moisture, or debris may get trapped under the grips.

Who is Micron Knives?

Micron Knives was born out of Kelley-Tron Machine Co., a precision machine shop based in Harrisburg, PA. What started as an acquisition of Survive! Knives equipment quickly grew to becoming a whole new endeavor. We saw first hand how the American manufacturing knife scene needs a wake up call.

At our core, we are machinists and craftsmen who take pride in creating tools that are as tough and reliable as the people who carry them. As a family business we believe in creating value beyond the cart, and that we can redefine what it means to be an American manufacturer.

If you’re after a knife that’s engineered to perform and built to take a beating, you’re in the right place.
