The bfonder Story
- From the hands of skilled craftsmen in Yangjiang, Guangdong—the knife capital of China—bfonder was born with a simple belief: that practical, reliable tools should be accessible to all.
Our story began in 2022 with a line of kitchen knives. While short-lived, this chapter gave us a deep understanding of blade performance, ergonomics, and materials. In 2025, we returned to the craft with a sharper focus: folding knives, takedown tools, and everyday carry (EDC) essentials for the modern user.
Why bfonder? The name reflects our brand philosophy—to "be fonder" of the gear you carry every day. We aim to create tools you'll depend on, be proud to own, and grow attached to over time.
At bfonder, we blend pragmatic design with value-driven craftsmanship. Our knives are forged from proven blade steels like D2, 14C28N, and 5CR15, and paired with rugged handle materials like 440C, 2CR13, and carbon fiber composites. Each product is built to withstand the demands of real use—whether you're outdoors, on the job, or simply ready for the unexpected.
Built to perform. Priced to make sense. Designed to be used.
That’s the bfonder promise.
We’re not chasing trends. We’re building tools that work—tools that last.
Because when gear is made with purpose, you carry it with confidence.
Welcome to bfonder.
