Darrel Ralph Knives

In 1987 Darrel began making blades. His designs are not just creativity in motion but imagination come to life for those people in love with cutting edge items. The first blade he ever made was a Butterfly patterned flipper.

Darrel Ralph made his first sale in 1992, being a knife maker for past 5 years at a Knife show in Cincinnati. It would come to be the catalyst for over 20 years of designs that would set the knife world ablaze and raise the risks for various other custom blade makers.

His blades quickly garnered the attention of the U.S. Government leading to an agreement to make switchblades for our greatest warrior guards in the marines.

Early in Darrel’s career he crossed paths with a legend, Jack Crider. Jack’s influence and close personal relationship, narrowed Darrel’s focus and led him to where he is today.

Jack Crider was Randall Knives’ leading blade dealer. At a show Jack happened to approach Darrel at his table and asked him if he had the ability to make a “power blade”.

At that time, Darrel has 90% of his work done in making fixed blade knives. Darrel too sometime to reply as he was thinking when Jack Crider explained further “why do not you take one of these Damascus billets and make me a power blade?! This time Jack was not asking rather giving him a contract to make one.

Most of Darrel’s knife making career was performed in his Ohio store. Due to a number of reasons out of his control, he relocated and moved to Texas. He has actually never ever recalled. The relocation has galvanized his determination to make the best knives in the industry. Whenever, anyone asks him why he relocated to Texas, till date his answer is short and same just one word i.e. “FREEDOM”

Once in Texas, the shop was setup, the team hired and Darrel reinvested hundreds of thousands of dollars on modern equipment. Darrel’s background in applied engineering was getting ready to have a major workout and what a run it has been to this point thus far.

Amazingly extensive designs are already making their way from the drawing board to the packaging and shipping departments. With the increase of sales after the relocation, DDR knives now manufactures knife parts in-house and engages several worldwide excellent quality suppliers as well.
