“I hammered out piles of ironwork and spent countless hours getting blisters and burns, until I could make something good.”
Inspired by all things wild and free, Alexandra Paliwoda expresses her love of untamed places with her hand-forged ironwork. Born in the Rocky Mountains and raised in the backcountry of Alaska, she began working with metal in 2000, when she was certified as a farrier by Montana State University and forged horseshoes. She worked with horses and in agriculture while living a subsistence lifestyle in Alaska—including building her own cabin in the north country. Now based in Montana, she feels that the most important things in life are the experiences.

Beautiful craftsmanship. My husband loved it!
The craftsmanship is beautiful. It is such an eye catching piece especially with the copper inlay. My husband is a collector of knives and this is one he did not have. He absolutely loved it. It is truly a unique eye catching piece. I love the stand as well.

A beautiful product, worth every penny.....
As a collector of knives, antique, Big small, new, novel etc. this, is one of the finest as well as unique knives I have had the pleasure of holding in my hands. I sense a basic earthy "feel" when I hold it. It is a beautiful work of art, as well as a very "sharp" knife.. in more ways than one!

Beautiful
This was an engraved gift for my husband. He loves it, it's beautiful, and sharp! I wonder if he will ever use it or just look at it :) The stand that it comes with is a bit awkward though. Some type of sheath might be better. (I had to change wording to "he will" because "h e ' l l" was profane, LOL!)

The perfect gift for the Favorite Child
I wanted an unique gift for the child who came into my life when he was twelve. I had two younger children, but he instantly declared himself the favorite child. He is an adult now with kids of his own. He is an amazing cook who grows his own herbs, has chickens and ducks, and creates fabulous meals for family, friends, and parties. I am an artist and was immediately drawn to the beautiful craftmanship of the Copper River Knife. Alexandra Paliwoda engraved Favorite Child on the blade. He uses it all the time now. He told me that it is his favorite knife. I loved giving him a gift that is as special as he is to me. Thank you to the customer service department for helping me by contacting the artist so that I could get the extra letter engraved. Also, thank you to the artist, Alexandra Paliwoda. I gave the perfect gift to the Favorite Child and it meant so much to both of us!!

This item hit it out of the park
I was looking for something unique to show my appreciation to my sister-in-law who shares so generously her gift and love for cooking, and this exceeded all of my expectations. She has thanked me multiple times, saying that this was the best gift ever. The personalization was the cherry on top. It's been awhile since I felt this excited about finding the "perfect gift" and this one sure hit it out of the park.

What are the "stamped" letters/numbers on the back. Thanks.
Verified reply from Coralie
Hi!! This knife can come personalized if you choose. You can add up to 7 characters on the first time and up to 8 characters on the 2nd line. We find our customers will add a name and special date or message.

Is the blade sharpened on both sides so it would be suitable for left-handed person?
Verified reply from Michelle
Hi! While the knife is not sharpened on both sides, the design of the knife would allow it to be used in either hand.

What is the material in the center of the cutter?
Verified reply from Norma
It is all recycled steel. What you are seeing in the middle is a design element the artist used to color treat that section of the knife but the knife is steel in its entirety.

can you purchase the stand for the copper river knife separately? I purchased 2 knifes before the stand was available.
Verified reply from Melody
Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, the stand cannot be sold separately.

Can this knive be sharpened? Is the steel hardened to help it hold an edge?
Verified reply from Martin
You sharpen this knife the same way you'd sharpen any other knife. It's designed to maintain a sharp edge, so you can always count on it for your cooking tasks.

Does this knife come with a note telling of its history? Thanks. Am considering giving as a gift and I would like the receiver to have all the info that is included in its description on line.
Verified reply from Paul
Thank you for your question. While this does come with a card that describes the artist it will not be as detailed as what you saw on our site. In cases like this we encourage you to print out our story with the picture and just include that in the package. If you would like our assistance in creating an informal card that does not include the price, just let us know. You can call us at 888-365-0056 or email us at help@uncommongoods.com.
