Our story started in Antlers, Oklahoma, where our great grandfather began forging knives by hand in the 1940s. The man in this photo is our great grandfather—the one who started it all.

That tradition was carried to Sweet Home, Oregon—where it’s been passed down through four generations.

Today, every Cochran knife is still made with the same mindset:

Build it right. Build it to last. And stand behind it forever.
