I have owned 3 transients (2 drop knives and 1 auction knife) and they are by far my favorite tactical folders! The action is amazing and now that customizable parts are becoming more available I am even more in love with each knife!

This is a great knife. I love the look, the ergonomics and the action. It slices great too.

Hello all. My most recent purchase from Jim was a transient 3.2. This blade sports a g-10 scale with thumb studs and I must say it is absolutely perfect in every way from the feel to the balance to the comfort in hand it is an absolute pleasure to carry. Thanks Jim for your dedication to excellence!!

Incredible knives, even more incredible customer service. The owner, Jim, couldn’t be more willing to work with his clients. You won’t be disappointed

The transient is an amazing knife. I have a 3.2 and it is super light, carries well, perfect size, and is just a quintessential knife. Cuts so well. So useful and functional that there really is very little to say about any negative aspects other than it is very difficult trying to get another one.

I have purchased two HMC transients, one of which I was able to buy directly and love them both. Instant permanent places in my collection. Jim is a pleasure to work with and is both kind and professional. You will not regret an HMC as your next knife purchase!

Jim builds a hell of a knife. It has easily become one of my top 3 favorite knives of all time. I love the fact that you can send in your knife to get it modified to your liking. And his Customer Service is so damn fantastic that other knife makers need to take note. 10 stars.

Honestly, the Transient is incredible. The action, build quality, and overall design make this one of my favorites. Additionally, Jim is a great dude. He’s quick to respond and actually cares about the knife enthusiast community. Will absolutely snag more of his work!

FAQ
At this time, I am currently not taking any custom orders. My focus is to scale the availability of my knives to a point where weekly drops are made to my email list. If you are interested in a knife, signing up here is currently the best way to purchase one.
I'm shifting from selling knives on Instagram to notifying my email list about their availability and processing sales through my website. Social media platforms currently restrict knife-related content more and more each week, so I'm moving away from relying on them for sales.
Yes, if your knife has lost its edge, is showing significant surface wear and tear, or is experiencing performance issues unrelated to a manufacturer's defect, it's time to send it in for a spa.
My pricing is based on the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that go into making each knife. I use premium American-made stainless steel and titanium hardware, all contributing to an all-titanium construction. Quality is my top priority throughout the manufacturing process, even with the use of CNC machines. I employ 3D machining for most components to ensure an ergonomic and high-performance design. From sourcing materials to the final sharpening, I pay meticulous attention to every detail in creating my knives
