About Our Client

Dalstrong is one of the most talked-about knife brands of the last decade. We took century-old cutlery houses, combined aggressive design, obsessive product quality, and marketing that actually entertains, and built a roughly$30M direct-to-consumer company around it.

Our knives are sold throughAmazon and Dalstrong.com, with a catalog backed by tens of thousands of five-star reviews. Beyond the core brand, we're also growingStudioForge, our licensed collectibles business featuring officially licensed blades from franchises such as DC,The Lord of the Rings, andGame of Thrones.

We're also building a precision knife manufacturing operation in Tampa, launching new American-made blade brands, expanding into retail for the first time, and operating an in-house video studio with a full-time creative production team.
