I am Johnny Stout and I'd like to thank you for your interest in STOUT HANDMADE KNIVES. I'm a voting member of the Knifemakers Guild, American Bladesmith Society, and founding member of the Texas Knifemakers and Collectors Association.

My Motivation

After almost a lifetime of being a knife lover and user, both as a sportsman and novice repairman, I began making knives in 1983, and became a full time Bladesmith in 1992. This site is intended to show the versatility and quality of my work, and is not inclusive of all models that I offer. The knives shown in the Knife Gallery are but a few of my standard designs and most are available in right, or left handed models.

My Technique

Using ancient, as well as state of the art materials, I offer many fixed blade designs, as well as folding knives with various locking mechanisms, to include various custom knives, switchblade knives, and my specialty, Gents' folding knives. Many of my knives are one of a kind, and will not be duplicated. Each knife is constructed, by me, and made from a variety of steels: carbon, stainless, and my own pattern welded damascus, as well as several other makers specialty damascus. My blades are either forged, or ground from raw bar stock using the stock removal method.

Business Policies

Customer designs are accepted on a commission basis. I'll work with you to make it to your specifications, with a required 20% deposit. As a convenience to my clients, I offer a lay-away plan to purchase any knife in stock, and several major credit cards are also welcome. I am also now using PayPal as a secure way to electonically transfer money via email. To order, you can either call, E-mail, or U.S. mail me with the model that you want. If it is not in inventory, a deposit will be taken and I will give you a tentative date of shipment. As my workload continues to increase, I'm having to offer longer delivery times. So that you may have an opportunity to purchase a knife from me without having to wait, I set aside time to make pieces that will be offered directly via my web site, that will be available for immediate delivery, and will be sold on a first come first serve basis.

When a new knife is posted, I will contact the members on the list via email and direct you to the site where the knife photo is posted.
