Unboxing the Holidays: Why Grit Knives Make the Perfect Gift This Season

Unboxing the Holidays: Why Grit Knives Make the Perfect Gift This Season

The holidays are coming fast, and I’ve been busy in the shop getting ready. Between filling custom orders and running new batches, I finally had the time to refine something I’ve wanted to improve for a while, the Grit Knives packaging.

This season, every knife feels like an experience from the moment you open the box. The new packaging is simple, clean, and built to match the attitude of the knives inside. You’ll feel it right away when you lift the lid, the weight of the steel, the precision in the finish, and that small sense of excitement that comes with unboxing something built to last.

I wanted the box-opening moment to feel personal, not overproduced. You can see and feel the care that went into it. Each piece of foam, each detail, is there to make sure whoever gets this knife knows it’s not just another gift, it’s something meant to be used, carried, and remembered.

And yeah, I know how it goes this time of year—everyone’s looking for that “different” gift, something that doesn’t blend in with everything else under the tree. That’s exactly what Grit Knives was built for. My knives are affordable, functional, and unique—each design tells a story, from the backcountry-inspired Ventana to the hard-edged Holt and beyond. They’re made for people who appreciate craftsmanship but don’t need a brand name to tell them it’s good.

If you’ve ever worried about giving the same gift as someone else, you won’t with one of these. Every run is limited. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

So whether you’re picking one up for a buddy, a family member, or yourself, this holiday season’s drop is all about authentic craftsmanship and the experience that comes with it.

Take a look at the new box opening video and see what’s waiting inside, because the only thing better than giving a Grit Knife is unboxing one.
