INTO THE WOODS
MADE IN CANADA
Culinary Knives
A good EDC knife is the one you actually carry. RDF EDC knives are compact, capable, and built with the same craftsmanship as every other blade in the shop — just scaled for your pocket. Light enough to forget about, tough enough to rely on.
Built and tested in the Canadian wilderness. Whether you're processing game, making camp, foraging, or filleting the day's catch, RDF field knives are designed to earn their place in your kit and stay there for decades. Hard use, real conditions, no compromises.
A great kitchen knife changes how you cook. RDF kitchen knives — nakiris, santokus, cleavers, and petty knives — are built to handle everything from breaking down a whole fish on Lake Winnipeg to fine-slicing vegetables for a weeknight stir-fry. Each blade is ground, heat-treated, and finished by hand in Winnipeg, Manitoba. These are working knives that happen to be beautiful.
Hunting/Bushcraft
Every Day Carry
Built for Where You're Going
A commission is the best way to get you what you want. Here's how it works:
1. Let's Talk
2. We Build the Plan
3. Secure Your Spot
4. The Work Begins
5. Ready to Go
Reach out at justin@rainydayforge.ca and tell me what you have in mind. The intended use, the feel you're after, handle materials, blade style — whatever you've got. Don't worry if you don't know all the details yet, that's what the conversation is for.
Together we'll nail down the design, choose the right steel for the job, and settle on a price. No surprises.
Once everything is agreed upon, you purchase a gift card to get into the queue. This holds your place and gets the build scheduled.
Every commissioned knife is built from scratch, by hand, in Winnipeg. You'll get a knife made specifically for you, unique, not pulled off a shelf.
When your knife is complete, apply your gift card to the purchase and choose shipping or local pickup.
