This week we are featuring Laramie Knife Works<\/a> of Laramie, WY<\/h1>\n

Steve Torok, Laramie Knife Works Laramie, WY\u00a0 307-747-7410 laramieknifeworks@msn.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 www.laramieknifeworks.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve Torok is an avid hunter and fisherman and has always using knives. One day he thought it would\u00a0be nice to make\u00a0a knife\u00a0from an animal he had harvested; so he did.\u00a0 Steve\u2019s dad was a metallurgist and working with steel is a family tradition.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSteve gets his materials from all over the world. \u00a0He once lived in New Zealand three months out of the year and he\u2019d bring back a lot of wood each year.\u00a0 Steve also gets a lot of domestic wood from people who supply AAAAA Presentation Grade woods to famous guitar makers.\u00a0 He got most of the antlers and horns (including Bighorn Sheep horns) from a trading post in Lander, WY.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve makes 8 different types of knives. Two types of Large Linerlock folding knives with Damascus Steel blades; two types of Medium\u00a0Linerlock folding knives with Damascus Steel blades; two types of\u00a0Small Linerlock folding knives with Damascus Steel blades; Stainless Steel Drop Point Hunting and Skinning Knives; and Damascus Steel Drop Point Hunting and Skinning Knives. \u00a0He also occasionally makes filet knives; steak knives, and kitchen knives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve uses some of the rarest woods and horns available which makes the knives unique and one-of-a-kind. Who wouldn’t like a knife made with Bighorn Sheep Horn? \u00a0He also uses a lot of gemstones including diamonds, rubies, and sapphires in his Linerlock folders which is somewhat uncommon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Laramie Knife Works\u2019 knives are available online at www.laramieknifeworks.com<\/a>. \u00a0 They are also available in Galleries (New York, Colorado, etc).\u00a0 Price range: $190 (for small Linerlock folders), $225 for Stainless Steel Drop Points, $275 for Damascus Steel Drop Points, and $300 for Large Linerlock folders.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All the knives are made by hand and are guaranteed for life.\u00a0 Steve is also a proud sponsor of the University of Wyoming.<\/p>\n
