Hello everyone,

     I am Jeff Maron of SpearTip Knives and I am based out of Chilliwack, BC, Canada. I hand-craft knives including fillet, hunting, folding, chef and knives for almost any occasion, such as weddings. Being an avid outdoors person, knives have played a large role in my life.  I was trying to satisfy my own needs, as I had never quite found what I was looking for within a knife while fishing , hunting, guiding and taxidermy.  I continued to make them for family and friends, always striving to improve the quality. I had no intentions of starting a business until my family and friends indicated a huge interest by requesting to purchase my creations. From then on my hobby excelled to a business making it difficult to keep an inventory of my custom built knives.

    My knives are made with very little use of machinery, completing much of the process by hand. All my bevels are ground with a hand file. When I first started building knives I did not even know of grinding machines so I used a file to create all my bevels. I have continued this “old school” approach because I feel sculpting by hand is truly a “custom knife".  I was self-taught and therefore developed many of my own techniques. All hardening and tempering is completed by myself using my Evenheat oven.

     I hand pick all of my wood for the handles from a local supplier who imports exotic woods.

     I file work most of the spines of my knives, adding a custom appeal to them, as well as a polished finish. My handle design is noticeably comfortable and assures a very safe and secure grip.

   All my knives include a handcrafted, unique looking leather sheath. I use a particular unique lacing technique to showcase a rugged look to my sheaths. 

Some years back my Dad was diagnosed with an incurable cancer and he succumbed to this awful disease. So, for each sale of a knife $25 is donated towards cancer research. I understand that what I am about to say may sound kind of goofy but here it goes:

 I have a photo of my father at my work area.  When I am hand filing a bevel and have sore body parts and the sweat is dripping all over my work area I just glance at my father's photo and think about all the suffering he had and it makes filing a knife by hand, easy.

Thank you for reading.
