Introducing the Tailored Series

Premium Craftsmanship - Refined Access

At American Rustic Design, every knife we offer tells a story—of craftsmanship, purpose, and respect for the tools we carry every day. Today, we’re proud to introduce the Tailored Series, a new line designed to make premium, handcrafted knives more accessible without compromising quality, performance, or character.

What Is the Tailored Series?

The Tailored Series is built around a simple idea:
Deliver the feel and quality of a custom knife, with a more efficient and cost-effective approach.

Instead of starting each knife from a fully bespoke design, this series begins with carefully sourced knife templates that have already proven their strength, balance, and usability. These templates are then ordered, refined, and hand-finished by Caudill Custom Knives, ensuring every blade meets the same standards we expect from a truly premium tool.

From there, each knife is elevated through:

• Custom handle shaping and fitting
• Thoughtfully selected materials
• Precision-fit leather sheaths made for real-world carry

The result is a knife that feels intentional, refined, and personal—without the added cost of a ground-up custom build.

Why We Created It

Fully custom knives are incredible—but they aren’t always practical for every customer or every use case. The Tailored Series bridges the gap between mass-produced knives and full custom builds, offering a middle ground that still honors craftsmanship.

By streamlining certain steps while preserving hands-on finishing, we’re able to:

• Reduce cost without reducing quality
• Offer consistent, proven designs
• Maintain the look and feel of a custom-made knife

This approach allows more people to own a knife that feels special, durable, and built with care.

Premium Doesn’t Have to Mean Complicated

Every Tailored Series knife is finished by hand, inspected individually, and paired with a sheath designed specifically for that blade. No two feel generic. No corners are cut where it matters.

These knives are made for people who value:

• Honest materials
• Functional design
• Craftsmanship they can feel the moment they pick it up

Whether it’s an everyday carry, a backup blade, or a purpose-built tool, the Tailored Series delivers premium quality with a more approachable price point.

A New Chapter in Handcrafted Knives

The Tailored Series represents a new direction for American Rustic Design—one that stays true to our roots while opening the door to new designs, new users, and new possibilities.
