Born in the Korengal Valley out of failed gear and hard lessons. Every blade is handmade for the one moment it can't fail.
Every Trained Monkey blade is hand-finished and assembled in Utah, then ships with a custom Kydex sheath and our lifetime warranty. No outsourcing, no shortcuts — just hard-use blades built to be carried, used, and passed down.
Hard-use fixed blades, handmade to order in Utah. Every build runs 8–10 weeks and ships with a custom Kydex sheath and lifetime warranty.
Our reputation, and the most important factor — your life — depends on this.
The vision of Trained Monkey began in the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. After multiple combat deployments and a host of equipment failures, Andrew knew he had to start from scratch.
A decade of constant GWOT environments became the bedrock. Japanese aesthetics, military-grade hardware, zero compromise.
A limited collaboration series designed with record-breaking adventurer and former SBS operator Dean Stott and Alana Stott. Purpose-built blades, forged to the same hard-use standard that carried them through the toughest environments on earth.
