At Mackay Blades, craftsmanship is more than skill

– it’s tradition, discipline, and pride in every piece we make.


Founded by Jack Mackay, a young South Australian craftsman with a passion for creating unique handmade knives, Mackay Blades brings together timeless design with precision detailing. Jack specialises in hand-forged blades and engraving guards and bolsters, producing knives that are both functional and works of art.

Jack’s father, Tony Mackay, a veteran and former Artificer Sergeant Major in the Australian Army, provides guidance and support, bringing decades of Armament engineering experience. Together, we share a commitment to quality, durability, and authenticity.

Our knives are inspired by traditional, tactical, gentleman’s, and next-generation styles – each designed to balance performance with aesthetic appeal. Every blade is crafted to be unique, built to last, and made to be treasured.

Whether you are a collector, outdoorsman, or simply appreciate the art of fine craftsmanship, Mackay Blades offers knives that stand apart.
