Goathead Knives is the work of Todd Minoski, a self-taught maker building knives in Finleyville, in the steel country south of Pittsburgh. Founded in 2016, the brand traces straight back to grandparents and great-grandparents who were coal miners, steelworkers, and hunters, people who made their own knives because they needed them, not to display them. Todd came to the craft through automotive mechanics and engineering work in the underground mining industry, and that mechanical background shows in every blade.
The flagship is the Hunter 3.5, a compact fixed blade with a 3.5 inch cutting edge on a MagnaCut blade run hard at 64 HRC, a 0.130 inch spine, and a carry weight under four ounces. It hits the sweet spot for field dressing and game processing while staying nimble enough for camp chores, which earns it a place among the best hunting knives at any production price. Handles run from canvas and linen micarta to Richlite, G-10, GripTec, and desert ironwood with gunstock checkering, most paired with a fitted Kydex sheath. Our knife steel guide covers why MagnaCut has become the fixed blade standard.
Every knife happens under one roof: design, machining, heat treatment, finishing, and sharpening, with no outsourced steps. That single-maker control is why grinds run true and edges arrive shaving sharp, and it puts Goathead in rare company among the fixed blade knives we carry. These are working tools made to be used and passed down.
