About
Tactile Knife Co. is a machine shop and knife manufacturer headquartered in northeast Dallas, Texas, producing folding knives from a 48,000-square-foot workshop. The company was founded in 2020 by Will Hodges, who previously established Tactile Turn, a precision-machined pen manufacturer, in 2012, applying the same in-house machining approach to knife production. Hodges and his team of approximately 35 employees machine every component of their folding knives in-house, including pivots, screws, and hardware, using materials such as Grade 5 titanium, 7075 aluminum, and MagnaCut blade steel. The first Tactile Knife Co. model, the Rockwall, was named for a neighboring county in Texas, and the product line has since expanded to include the Redhawk, Mariner, Bexar, Ranger, and other models.
