Story
My name is Curtis Berry; I’m a husband, father, and self-described metal-nerd who resides on the beautiful Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. I am a self-taught machinist with a knack for artwork, and I’ve decided to venture full-time into custom knife making.
I began my story about 5 years ago with making custom titanium, brass, and copper scales for production knives such as Zero Tolerance and Hinderer. My scale work eventually evolved into mostly custom-requested artwork and many one-offs, as well as getting to play with some exotic materials like Timascus. It had become apparent that I was going to need to develop my own custom knives, as they would serve as a perfect canvas for my artwork and engravings that had gotten me through several long cold winters.
My foray into the design and engineering of this knife spanned over 3 years on and off in development and prototyping, and finally at long last the “Centurion" was born!
I was delighted to unveil the Centurion for the first time at Blade Show West 2019! The sky is the limit and I look forward to producing many more of the best knives I can, both in terms of the mechanics and artistry invested in them. Thank you all for your support!
