WW Cronk

W.W. Cronk, a master machinist and knifemaker, was a pioneering figure in the custom knife world, known for his unique and often fantastical designs. He made knives from 1963 until his death in 1983, leaving behind a legacy of art and craftsmanship. Cronk’s work is particularly admired for pushing the boundaries of traditional knife design, with some of his creations being considered one-of-a-kind. His early work focused on hunting, skinning, and Bowie knives, but he later expanded into more unusual and diverse designs.
