Handcrafted knives with Native American and Southwestern artistry pair functional blades with hand-worked sterling, turquoise, and inlay handles. The Humiovi has offered collectible art knives since 1972, sourced directly from the artisans who make them, each one a study in metalwork and stonework. Explore fixed-blade and folding knives with turquoise, coral, and inlay handles β collector's pieces as much as tools β every piece documented and backed by our guarantee.
An art knife is a collaboration between blade and handle. Our selection features hand-finished blades fitted with handles of sterling silver, turquoise, spiny oyster, coral, and channel inlay β the same techniques Native silversmiths bring to fine jewelry, applied to a different canvas. Many are one-of-a-kind collector's pieces.
Each knife is acquired through The Humiovi's direct relationships with the artisans who craft them, relationships we have maintained since 1972. We document the maker and materials so collectors understand exactly what they are acquiring.
Keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion, and treat the handle as you would fine jewelry: protect turquoise and other soft stones from moisture and impact, and store the knife cushioned and separate.
