Southern Grind started in 2010 when Grammy-winning artist and knife enthusiast Zac Brown began building knives in his Peachtree City, Georgia metal shop, with a purpose bigger than blades: proceeds support Camp Southern Ground, Brown's camp serving children of all abilities and military families. The goal was straightforward, create American-made knives using premium materials and meticulous hand assembly, and every Southern Grind knife is machined and assembled in the United States with blade beveling done in-house.
The Spider Monkey is the flagship, a 3.25 inch liner lock built for hard daily carry, and current production runs CPM MagnaCut, the steel our knife steel guide ranks among the best all-around chemistries ever made, in our stock over OD green G-10 or carbon fiber. The Penguin delivers a full titanium frame with an S90V blade for collectors wanting premium materials in a refined package, and fixed blade models round out the catalog as runs allow.
After more than a decade of production, Southern Grind now operates under Diamondback Knife Works in Florida while maintaining the same quality standards and warranty support. Designer Neil Kamimura continues developing new models under Brown's original vision of rugged dependability paired with modern steel technology, keeping these among the more meaningful American folding knives you can carry: a genuinely good knife whose story gives back.
