Who we are

My name is Seth Stratz, and I founded Integral Knives from a passion for woodworking and a professional background in industrial CNC machining. Since finishing high school, I've spent 12 years working as a machinist, using the latest in modern technology to turn raw materials into industrial parts that require good surface finishes and high accuracy. Knife making has allowed me to take the precision and quality of CNC machining, and turn it into a product that can be appreciated by all. My access to high end industrial equipment and industrial processing has allowed me to make a different kind of hunting knife.

Our Product: The Integral Difference

Our focus is on creating hunting knives that are defined by their structural integrity and flawless construction. The name "Integral Knives" comes from our signature method: every knife is machined entirely from a single, solid piece of metal.

This approach eliminates the weak points, gaps, and seams often found where traditional handles meet the blade or pins that can come loose. The result is a knife with unrivaled strength, perfect balance, and a lifetime of durability—a true integral piece designed to perform flawlessly in the field.

Crafted for All

We make knives for those who want the best quality there is, for those who want a knife that they can pass down to their son or grandson. Our knives are built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and collectors who appreciate the the beauty of different materials coming together in a seamless product.

When you carry an Integral Knife, you're not just carrying a knife. You are holding the best in processing and quality that is available. No other knife manufacturer makes knives this way because it takes 5 times more steel to produce, takes significantly longer to cut, and uses cost prohibitive equipment to produce - but the results are undeniable.
