Handmade Knives
About the maker
Roger Harrington has been a professional knife maker since 1997 trading as Bison Bushcraft or in his name, although that isn't where his passion for making knives started. As a youth in the 1970s, any bit of metal he came by was fashioned into something sharp and this culminated with him getting into trouble at school for making a pretty good replica of a commando knife ( although he still went on to win the school prize for metalwork). This was his earliest influence in the knife world seeing the beauty of The Fairbarn Sykes knives illustrated on the back of the War picture library magazines. His adult work career has involved various engineering and bushcraft related jobs giving him the ideal skill set to design and make practical, comfortable and functional outdoor tools. Roger has to date made knives for bush crafters, the military, hunters, fishermen and a whole host of other international customers who have a use for a high quality practical outdoor tool. Roger has designed and made knives for other organisations as well as licensed his designs to factories who produce knives in bulk. He is always open to new designs and materials and looks forward to new challenges in customers designs that he can produce in his well equipped Sussex workshop.
