High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Doc Shiffer Recon Fixed Blade is a handmade masterpiece that commands attention from the moment it's in hand. Built in the USA by one of the finest custom makers working today, this Recon combines cutting-edge materials with heirloom-level craftsmanship. The superconductor steel blade is razor sharp, holding a wicked edge that carves through tough material like it’s not even there. With an eye-catching matrix of copper and niobium, superconductor isn’t just exotic—it’s ultra-tough, corrosion-resistant, and hardened for serious field use.
This fixed blade is all about performance wrapped in style. The handle pairs sleek carbon fiber with solid copper bolsters, offering a grip that feels as refined as it looks. You’ll notice the balance immediately—this isn’t some mass-produced tool. Every line, every angle, and every finish has been shaped with purpose. From the tang to the tip, it’s a blade built for those who demand the best and won’t settle for less. Whether you’re carrying it in the field or keeping it displayed in a collection, this knife has a presence that stands apart.
Steve Shiffer’s work doesn’t come around often, and when it does, it tends to disappear fast. There’s a reason collectors and serious knife users alike chase pieces like this one.
And if you’re holding this blade, odds are you got it from Smoky Mountain Knife Works—the world’s largest knife store and a true landmark in Tennessee. Tucked in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, SMKW draws over 1.5 million visitors every year to its legendary showroom and remains the best online destination for knives on the planet.
