Founder Run

A serialized first-edition blade

One production run. American-made. Built with heirloom quality, premium packaging, and a story designed to be carried forward.

The Programme

Made once. Numbered forever.

The Founder Run is a single first-edition production programme created for collectors, outdoorsmen, and families who believe a knife should be used, trusted, and passed down.

Each blade represents the beginning of Tennessee Knife Company’s modern manufacturing story: American steel, skilled hands, historic inspiration, and a serial number that marks its place in the run.

This is not an ongoing product listing. It is a limited editorial release built around heritage, scarcity, and the pride of owning one of the first TKC knives.

Serialisation

Every blade has its number.

01

Single Run

Produced as one first-edition release. Future runs should be treated as new pages or variants, not overwrites.

02

Serialized

Every knife carries its own number, helping mark its place inside the Founder Run programme.

03

Heirloom Built

Designed to be carried, used, collected, and passed down with pride.

Specifications
