Hellbender Blade Co. - American-Made Fixed Blades Built to Work
Precision-machined fixed blades from an American workshop that believes knives should be used hard, not babied. Every Hellbender is crafted start-to-finish in the USA with premium materials and an unconditional commitment to function.
The Hellbender Standard
Hellbender Blade Co. represents a new generation of American knife manufacturing, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern precision machining. This isn't mass production; it's a dedicated team transforming raw American steel into purpose-built tools in their own facility. Every knife passes through multiple sets of skilled hands, from CNC machining to Cerakote finishing to final quality inspection.
The result is a knife built for actual use, backed by a warranty that proves it: lifetime coverage plus free sharpening for life. Because if you're afraid to use your knife, what's the point?
Featured Model: The Mudpup
MagnaCut Steel Meets Uncompromising Design
The Hellbender Mudpup showcases everything this company stands for: premium MagnaCut blade steel, bombproof construction, and multiple handle and finish options to match your preferences. At $230-240, you're getting hand-made-level craftsmanship at production knife pricing.
Available Configurations Include:
Stonewash MagnaCut Blades ($230): Classic stonewash finish available with black G-10, OD green canvas Micarta, burlap Micarta, or multicolored G-10 handles.
River Wash Cerakote Blades ($240): Enhanced corrosion resistance with black, coyote, or orange Cerakote finishes, paired with your choice of G-10 or Micarta handles.
Every configuration features the same bulletproof MagnaCut steel, known for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and stainless properties. This is the steel serious users demand, now available in a purpose-built fixed blade design.
Why Hellbender at DLT
Supporting American Innovation
We've chosen to carry Hellbender Blade Co. because they represent what we value: genuine American manufacturing, innovative design, and knives built for real work. In an industry full of outsourced production and marketing hype, Hellbender keeps it simple: quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, fair prices.
Their lifetime warranty with free sharpening isn't a marketing gimmick; it's a statement of confidence. They want you to use these knives hard, knowing they'll stand behind every blade that leaves their shop.
The Hellbender Warranty Advantage
Use It Hard. They've Got Your Back.
Every Hellbender knife includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering any defects in materials or craftsmanship. But here's what sets them apart: free sharpening for life, even if the blade is simply dull from heavy use. Ship your knife to them, and they'll restore the edge at no charge. This is a company that wants their knives in the field, not in a display case.
The warranty covers all manufacturing defects, blade and handle failures, and hardware issues. Only damage from obvious misuse, unauthorized modifications, or neglect falls outside coverage. It's one of the most user-friendly warranties in the industry.
About the Makers

The team includes experienced machinists, finishing specialists, and quality control experts who handle each knife personally. This isn't an anonymous factory; it's a workshop where craftsmen take pride in sending their work into the world.
Their commitment to American manufacturing goes beyond geography. They're investing in local jobs, supporting their community, and proving that American-made doesn't have to mean overpriced. At Hellbender, it means accessible quality backed by people who stand behind their work.
