About US
Handcrafted precision, born on the rugged Maine coast.
At Rocky Coast Knives LLC (RoCK), every knife is individually crafted by maker Phil Smith using the stock-removal method — a disciplined and highly controlled approach to knife building that emphasizes geometry, performance, and finish. Each blade begins as a premium bar of steel and is shaped by hand, inch by inch, through careful grinding, profiling, heat treatment, and edge refinement.
There are no templates, mass-production shortcuts, or outsourced steps.
Phil designs, shapes, heat treats, assembles, and finishes every piece himself.
