Just under 3 years ago, I had the great pleasure to introduce the community to Hog House Knives. Back then I knew that Tapio and Viljami were going to usher in a new evolution in the segment. Now in 2025, I’m happy to report that they are the absolute pinnacle of machine customs. I have handled them all and I have owned most, and Hog House has bypassed them all. They are at the top with Brian Tighe.
They should be a household name among knife collectors. Their craftsmanship in machining as well as in the knifemaking have earned that. Their fit & finish is jaw dropping.
You can get on their order books here, hoghouseknives.com/en-us/products/veli-1
Music: lyrics by me with AI performance of the music.
