About Us

MCLKnives is a custom knife company established by brothers, Leo and Chris Lopez, in 2008. Together we built and showcased over 5,000 knives at gun and sportsman shows throughout the Midwest: including Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, and New Mexico.

In 2021, when Leo retired, Chris and his wife Mona relocated to Asheboro, NC where we continue to create a wide variety of top of the line and reasonably priced hunting, kitchen, cutlery, and specialty knives.

Specializing in Damascus blades and acrylic resin handles, all of our handles are built in house. We also use a variety of non Damascus steel: 1095, 1097, 8075, O1 and A6 to name a few.

As of 2018 Chris has started teaching knife making classes to individuals in a 1-on-1 environment.
