Jim Whitman has been producing his brand of custom knives since 1983.
As an Alaskan resident since 1968, die-hard fisherman, and big-game hunter, Jim has learned the importance of having only the highest quality equipment while afield. Through a process of trial and error, personal conviction and experience, Jim has developed his Whitman line of superior hunter-skinner knives. His skills at the bench have helped him gain recognition as one of Alaska's finest master craftsman. The Whitman Line of hunters and skinners features knives designed to keep their edge through even the most grueling outdoor tasks. Whether dressing a Dall sheep taken on a jagged granite outcropping, or a bull caribou dropped on the wind-blown silt of a glacial river bank, Jim's edges and knife designs stand up to the roughest back-country challenges. Whitman quality knives are designed and constructed to exceed the needs of even the most demanding outdoorsmen; veteran Alaskan big-game guides, outfitters, and Alaskan adventurers. Jim regards proportion and fit as the number one consideration in the design of his knives. Each Whitman knife is truly a "one-of-a-kind" product; the culmination of Jim's lifelong outdoor experiences and his never-ending commitment to craftsmanship in producing only the very finest of quality knives. Every owner of a
Whitman knife shares in a tradition of excellence "Crafting
beautiful knives is a personal passion. When I look at my
raw materials, I can't help but envision the potential
that's waiting inside." - Jim

Jim's personal
interest in knife making began at an early age. Back in
Minnesota Jim became forever fascinated after watching
his dad craft a knife from a crosscut saw blade. That
very knife skinned plenty of whitetail bucks and Jim's
dad proudly wore it on many a hunt.
