TAF Knives “The American Factory of Knives” Founded by Marco Maldonado, “The American Factory of Knives” is a family business dedicated to make quality knives that are durable and can be used for Tactical, Hunting, Camping, Survival and Self Defense. We are located in a small town called Virginia Gardens in the state of Florida. The founder, Marco, has always been passionate about knives and guns, since he has a background in the military. He is very hands on and has always liked to build and make things on his own, that’s where the idea of making handcrafted knives came from. These knives have been created for you with good handling precision and detail, they are made with USA materials proudly supporting the American industry. Our handcrafting process has several stages such as: cutting, grinding, drilling, sanding, tempering, painting and assembling.
