Gralloching knives
HIGH QUALITY HUNTER'S TOOLS
As an engineer and hunting enthusiast, I know full well the importance of quality when it comes to hunting knives. Out in the field, grip, feel and sharpness are absolutely paramount in every aspect of hunting, and having the right tool for the job makes a huge difference to the efficiency of preparing game for consumption. I stock a range of handcrafted gralloching knives, ideal for gamekeepers, and hunters who are dedicated to their sport.

The working tool range
DROP POINT HUNTER KNIVES
Developed by a deer stalker, for deer stalkers, these drop-point knives have a tactile grip, and come in a range of lengths for different size deer, fish and game.
PIT PONY KNIVES
This is an exceptionally tactile grip, with glow in the dark liners, essential for use in low light, and a superb grip at any angle.
ZIPPER KNIVES
These knives are ideal for field dressing, where the blunt point and the straight blade minimise the risk of gut puncture, as well as being ideal for skinning in a larder.
DUAL KNIFE SETS
Developed by a deer stalker, for deer stalkers, these drop-point knives have a tactile grip, and come in a range of lengths for different size deer, fish and game.
HUNTING KNIFE HANDLES
You can have a hunting knife set with handles to match your other working tools, or in the design that suits you best.
KITCHEN KNIFE
I make a 4.5” Santoku style all purpose knife. The rounded shape is suitable for vegetables but also cutting and slicing meat and fish.

Reviews
James made a purpose built 5" BBQ knife, based on the pit pony. The quality, attention to detail, customer service and after service are outstanding. As for the knife, it is well balanced, handles beautifully and enhances the whole outdoor butchering and carving experience; would highly recommend.
Matt Willshaw
Used my new 4" drop point hunter to gralloch and larder a brace of fallow bucks yesterday. Cracking knife , really well balanced, fits right in the hand and a very useable blade shape. Really happy with it and James is a nice chap to deal with.

James Penny – Maker and supplier of British handmade hunting knives
James Penny Knives was established in 2020, where I brought together my two passions and areas of expertise: engineering and hunting. I started off in a garage making the knives then quickly moved into larger premises and now have my own dedicated workshop. I've worked in the engineering industry since 1994 and been involved in hunting from an early age. By combining this knowledge, I can create gralloching knives of precision, handling, and design.
FEATURED
My work has been featured in The Shooting Times, with articles written by Chris Dalton who has been crowned professional Deer Stalker of the year many times. Chris is kindly doing a longevity test on one of my 4” Drop-Point Hunters with the Pit Pony handle, with great feedback so far.
