Who We Are

We're just like you, occasionally we need a knife to perform a task and when we do, we want the best.  Collectors, hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen, and all-round knife geek enthusiasts enjoy our store. Whether you arrive by cruise ship, private boat, or plane (because you cannot drive to or from here) please come see us when you visit Juneau.  Alaska Knifeworks is located in Merchants Wharf on the beautiful downtown Port of Juneau waterfront, the Gateway to Alaska's Capital City!
