About Bruzek Knives

Bruzek Knives is a veteran operated and owned small business that focuses on making high end knives by hand. Basically… it’s just me! I'm a one-man shop with help from my kiddos from time to time. 

Hi, my name is Ryan Bruzek and I am a self taught Knife & Tool Maker. I design and hand make all my knives and tools. My knives are my art. 

At an early age I was infatuated with movies like Rambo and became addicted to knives and war movies. 

While attending college for a degree in graphic design and marketing, I was stuck in traffic on a sunny September morning. Radio cut to breaking news announcement.... the planes hit the towers. I skipped school that day and joined the Marine Corps. Love for weaponry meets the Marine Corps!

During my time in the Corps I severed in Iraq and was part of Operation Vigilant Resolve in Fallujah. During my stay in Iraq in 2004, my unit did countless operations in and around Fallujah and the Al Anbar Province. I was an 1833 (YAT-YAS) and when we weren't operating our big gator tracks, we patrolled in sub-par Humvee's with little to no armor! 

After the Corps, I missed my weaponry and obtain my FFL and started to teach myself how to make knives. Enter Bruzek Knives USA.

What you will see from me: 

I create one-of-a-kind blades. Most of my knife designs I create are only created once. If I replicate designs, they are still always one of a kind. They are always made by hand so they will always vary.

If you find me on YouTube or social media, you will see a lot of videos. I was a kid growing up in late 80's early 90's on MTV. I fucking love music! So...I make videos with music of all my projects. This I my way to give you a front row seat into my process, my business  and creations. 

ALSO… I have this thing called a sense of humor. You will see that in my videos and in my products (see the Funny Side and Dark Side of this website) 

I also own and operate Bruzek Laser Engraving with an FFL under the name Iron Sight Gunsmithing and Fire Arm Sales. So you will see other projects as well. 

Semper Fidelis
