What I do
First off let me fill you in on a little background info about me. My name is Tyler Pipes. I am the second son of Kevin Pipes the owner of Smoky Mountain Knife Works. I just graduated for the University of Tennessee with a double major in international business and marketing. I have grown up in the knife business and i have worked in just about every department here at SMKW so that i can better understand our company.
My current position is The Head of International Development. I handle all projects that have to do with any of our in house brands or any knife company internationally. As of right now, I am working on some really exciting projects with Colt, Rough Rider, and Blackjack.
On the Colt side of things we have some really nice new pocketknives that we have put a more classic look, (I would love to tell you the details but I don’t want then competition stealing my ideas so stay tuned in). We are also expecting a shipment of some really nice fixed blades knives that should be in at the end of December so keep a look out in the catalog for them.
As for Blackjack we have some really nice fixed blades we just placed an order for but sadly they wont be in for at least 6 to 8 months, but rest assured that they will be made Blackjack Sharp, With No Gimmicks Just Performance!
I would love to write more but i got in a box of samples in today so I have to look at those and make sure that they are made with the same quality and performance of all the knives that we make and sell.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Best wishes,
Tyler Pipes

Welcome to my blog
Well, you're here, and that's good. I hope you come back often. My name is Tyler Pipes, and I'm going to try to use these pages to tell you a little about me - a little about what I do - and a little about...well... all kinds of things. So, subscribe if you want. That's how you'll keep up with me.
Here's a quick video of where I work, Smoky Mountain Knife Works (this is only a tiny, tiny fraction of our massive showroom).
