He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. Psalm 18:16

With more than 50 years of blade making experience behind us, we specialize in crafting real, working swords for modern users. We’ve taken some of the best designs history has to offer and reimagined them, using the most advanced materials and techniques available.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," legendary heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali once said, and Many Waters is the embodiment of that same effortless speed that packs one heckuva punch. Inspired by Japanese straight-bladed ninjatō swords, Many Waters is nimble and fast in the hand, and a no-nonsense professional at work.

The new Ultralight Many Waters is built from .140" CPM-MagnaCut, one of the toughest and most highly refined cutlery steels available, milled at one of the last surviving steel mills in the United States. CPM-Magnacut is highly resistant to corrosion or staining, and thanks to our own specialty heat treat, Dawson blades stay sharp up to twice as long as other premium steels. Rockwell C 61-62.

We stand behind our blades with an exceptional lifetime warranty, backed by a reputation for quality unparalleled through more than a half-century in the industry.
