We build reliable, high-performing knives for the wild, the work, and the journey ahead. From the steel we choose to the heat treatment we use, every purpose is driven by performance. Whether small-batch produced or handcrafted, every VIIKINGS knife is made to cut and built to use.

The foundation of our designs comes from the Hmong knife—a tried-and-true blade used for generations as an all-purpose, “jack-of-all-trades” survival tool in the hills and mountains of Southeast Asia.

That same practical design and function carried into the Vietnam War, where Hmong fighters, alongside American soldiers and pilots, carried the Hmong knife as part of their tactical and survival gear.

Our name, VIIKINGS, carries a double meaning: Vikings and VII Kings — Seven Kings, representing the seven brothers behind our roots. Like the Vikings of old, we’re drawn to the outdoors — to adventure, exploration, good food, and the experiences that come from gathering around a fire after a long day outside.
