Darlington Edgecraft's Story

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.

Our Crafting Philosophy

At Darlington Edgecraft, we believe a knife is one of the most essential tools you can carry. It’s a symbol of readiness, a piece of art, and a practical assistant that should feel like an extension of your own hand. That's why we pour our skill and dedication into every blade we create, ensuring each one is not just a tool, but a reliable partner crafted to stand up to whatever your day holds.

Our philosophy is simple: a blade should be both beautiful and unbreakable. This belief guides our hands as we create knives that offer a perfect balance of form and function, ready for the rigors of the outdoors or the demands of daily tasks.
