Only 3 days until we draw the lucky winner of the Steve Johnson custom knife. We have given away some nice knives since we launched the website, but this might well be the most exquisite one yet.

Steve was the subject of our cover article in the August 2019 issue of Knife Magazine. SRJ is truly a legend among custom knifemakers, having made his first knife under Gil Hibben and working in partnership with Bob Loveless in the early 1970s. A longtime member of The Knifemakers’ Guild, nobody makes a knife of this style any cleaner than Steve Johnson does.

We usually keep print articles on the paywalled side for Premium Online Members, but because this is such a special circumstance, we are making it free to everyone by clicking on the blue box below (launches the flipbook).

[Incidentally, the “F” in the KNIFE Magazine logo was directly inspired by one of Steve’s designs, then modified for our purposes.]

We would like to extend a final thanks to Steve Johnson for donating this spectacular knife. It has the smooth bolster transitions, tapered tang, and impeccable fit and finish that Steve has become known for. Pay him a visit at his website (www.srjknives.com) to check out his other work, or perhaps even thank him for us again if you are so inclined.

Here are a few more shots of the knife:
