Gaskill Knives is Texas maker Matthew Gaskill, who found a knife grinder among the equipment he inherited from his grandfather, knifemaker Dale Wood, and has been building fixed blades with an instantly recognizable style since 2015. A Texas Knifemakers Guild member working primarily through stock removal, Gaskill shapes every design around contoured handles and tapered full tangs that put the balance point right where control lives.
The Arc leads the current lineup, a compact EDC fixed blade in CPM MagnaCut wearing handle combinations that show off Gaskill's eye for materials: paper micarta, camo and AmeraGrip G-10, Richlite, bog oak, and Brazilian blackheart over contrasting liners, all covered in our knife handle materials guide. The Tanner Production V1 puts his signature pattern within reach: a 3.5 inch drop point at 7.5 inches overall, MagnaCut hardened to 63 HRC, a tapered tang that balances the knife at the choil, and a Kydex sheath configurable for horizontal or vertical carry. The MidTech Scalpel rounds out the range for fine detail work, and our knife steel guide explains why MagnaCut anchors the whole catalog.
