A Pocket Knife That Doesn’t Play by the Rules

Hand-Forged for Everyday Function
The Poglia Handcrafted Folding Knife. This isn’t some mass-produced, lifeless blade off a factory line. Every Poglia knife is forged by real hands, eight of them to be exact, using old-world methods that don’t cut corners. The carbon steel blade is hand-drawn and hammered into form, making each knife one of a kind. That raw, unfinished look? It’s intentional. It’s how you know it’s the real deal.

Each Poglia folding knife is built to perform—whether you're slicing through rope, breaking down a box, or cutting charcuterie by the campfire. It folds up cleanly, fits in your pocket without fuss, and opens with authority. The carbon steel edge holds a sharp line, demanding only the respect of occasional maintenance. This knife isn’t just designed to look good—it’s meant to be used.

Materials That Earn Their Patina
You get a choice: bone, horn, or wood—and sometimes a combination of all three. These are natural materials, each aging differently, each telling its own story the more you carry it. Brass details round out the look with a subtle gleam that will mellow over time. There’s no plastic. No gimmicks. Just honest materials that feel good in your hand and get better with age.

No Two Are Alike—On Purpose
This is where craftsmanship wins over mass production. Each Poglia Handcrafted Folding Knife is a little different. That’s not a flaw—it’s the feature. You’re carrying a piece of work that’s been shaped, sharpened, and finished by people who care about getting it right.

• 100% hand-forged carbon steel blade, each with a unique finish

• Natural handle horn

• Brass detailing for strength and vintage appeal

• Compact 3-inch blade, perfect for daily tasks

• A collector's piece made to be carried, not shelved

This is everyday carry with soul. The Poglia Handcrafted Folding Knife doesn’t just cut—it carves out its own space in your life.

"GOODS, MATERIALS & PROCESS

We source our materials from local farms in the South of Brazil, not far from where founder/designer Maximiliano Poglia grew up. We utilize sourced remnants of old carbon steel, 100% recycled brass, and reclaimed Brazilian hickory and reimagine them as functional art, heirloom pieces intended to last for generations.

For many of its pieces, Poglia also sources buffalo horn, and cow horn & bone, which remain as byproducts from southern Brazil's long agricultural history and noble Gaucho culture. These materials come from a region known for its “green cows” and ubiquitous buffalo.

Poglia knives are handled by eight hands from the initial design to the final polish in New York City, where we are based. Each knife is handcrafted in Brazil by a small team of local artisans, all overseen by Poglia. Each blade is forged by a second-generation master blacksmith.

Nearly all of our steel is reclaimed from forgotten agricultural tools, like plow disks that were abandoned after their first lives. Each knife blade is hand-drawn, cut and forged from these plow disks. Using this reclaimed steel is advantageous in that it improves the strength, durability and a unique blade finish that is impossible to replicate."
