About Steve Johnson of Johnson Adventure Knives:

A Nebraska native, Steve Johnson is an adrenaline junkie that has loved tools since he could walk.....happiest when he's chasing whatever critters are in season, Steve has been building knives and other tools to make his outdoor activities more enjoyable for the past two decades.

All of Steve's knives started with an idea and the desire to make a task easier or safer, some ideas were his own, and others came as special request from friends that range from cowboys to professionals throughout the military and contracting world. Knives and other tools are always built with function first and foremost. Function dictates form, and Steve designs his knives to take on the intent of that hand that grips them.
