ABOUT US

Born In The Wild, Rooted In Legacy

Raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, our founder grew up surrounded by tradition, the ocean, and the tools of survival. From the pāhoa dagger to the ’opihi knife, Hawaiian craftsmanship has always been about strength, versatility, and precision—values that shaped his passion for creating tools built for adventure and artistry.

But the journey didn’t stop there. While visiting the small Greek town where his grandparents once lived, he met a local named Nikos—a kindred spirit with the same dream of entrepreneurship. Their shared ambition sparked a vision: to create a brand that blends heritage with innovation, tradition with modern craftsmanship.

At Nikos, we craft knives designed to thrive in the wild yet perform with finesse in the kitchen. Whether chopping through dense cuts over an open fire or slicing fresh ahi with precision, our tools are built for those who demand more—from their gear, from their craft, and from themselves.

Inspired by heritage. Built for the bold.
