Darlington Edgecraft was founded by Carley Perkins, a dog owner and a former welder with a longstanding passion for knives. Driven by an unwavering desire for personal and professional growth, Carley transitioned from welding to mastering the art of blademaking. She established Darlington Edgecraft with the mission to empower individuals who feel marginalized in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This company not only aims to diversify the knife-making landscape but also seeks to equip women with the tools and resources necessary for their success. Carley's journey serves as an inspiration, demonstrating that determination and skill can forge new paths in any field.
