Last Resort Knives are solely made by Tim Aucott. Making knives has been Tim’s passion for many years, but until a few years ago, it was mainly a hobby. Everything changed one afternoon when some friends were visiting after a big adventure through the Canadian wilderness. They were hiking in grizzly bear territory without bear spray or any other protection. As a last resort, they took a bread knife with them. After a laugh, Tim said he would make them a last resort knife.
In that moment, we all decided that Last Resort Knives would be the perfect name for a brand.
After a few knives were made and with a bit of friendly pressure, we managed to persuade Tim to set up an Instagram page, to showcase his diligently detailed work. Shortly after, Toria Jaymes a.k.a Stay Outside (one of the aforementioned friends) designed our logo/branding - a perfect match to our story, bear paw and all.
Since then, Last Resort Knives has been sending their made-to-order knives all over the world, including the UK, USA, Canada, Slovakia, Morocco, Spain, Australia and many more.
Last Resort Knives are made with passion, love and attention to every single detail. Tim enjoys crafting and designs each knife to perfection. He is happy to talk you through the process of making your knife. We don’t take deposits or payments up-front. You only pay when the knife is finished and you are happy with how it looks.
