Northwoods Users

The Northwoods Knife brand name originated in Gladstone, Michigan when a man named Dave Shirley adopted it as his knife company's name in 2004. Dave was well known for collaborating with popular knife companies to have knives made to his specifications for resale well before 2004 & beyond. KnivesShipFree bought Northwoods from Dave & has continued to team up with respected makers to produce knives marked with the Northwoods brand name.

Northwoods Users

Post by Buckibbq »

I see an overwhelming majority of Northwoods knives that are posted in forums and on social media platforms that are safe queens. With the value of these pieces still climbing, I tend to keep most of mine pristine as well. But, I love the opportunity to acquire a gently broken in piece to add to my rotation. I’m always looking to add users and currently have a Fremont and Broadway in my EDC drawer. Let’s see your Northwoods that you put to good use!

Thanks for posting those users, I-man! All great knives to put to work. Love the Bear Lake…that was my first Northwoods acquisition and it’s been all up hill since! I need to find a BL user now…

This Northwoods Norfolk in purple camel bone is seeing a lot of pocket time this summer. It’s variety of blades and compact size make it an ideal shorts carry and it tackles most tasks that I have these days.

A sweet Northwoods, with the blade stamped as such, is one of my grail knives. One day . . .

I’d recommend every collector having at least one that suits them. They are built to use and they look good too.
