About Us
Welcome to the Eknives Family!
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR SITE AND SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE FROM US,
KNOW THAT WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE.
My name is Clayton Ensminger and this is my lovely wife CoCo with our French Bulldogs Knox and Louis. We are a small family owned business with a retail storefront in Chattanooga, Tn where we reside.
Our entire focus is to serve you, the customer and to ensure you get what you want as fast as possible. Our goal is to build our brand, 1 customer at a time. That means we plan to go the extra "Smile" to make sure you get what you want.
If we don't have it, we probably know who does and will help you find it somewhere else. In this world of Amazon, we all know what it's like to order something and then want it the next day. So we have created our entire business model around 2-3 day shipping. So if you order from us, we guarantee it will ship that same day if placed before 3pm EST.
My wife and I started EK because we have always had a passion for business and wanted to create an ecommerce store around something we were interested in, together.
I loved knives as a kid but never really had much experience with them growing up. I wanted to know more about knives because they are tools that are essential for every day life. My father gave me my first survival knife from a flea market for my birthday after Rambo First Blood hit the theaters in 1982, I was 8.
At age 40, after having failed at numerous business ventures, I got tired of working a dead end job with no direction in life. So I decided to start a website from the ground up. Full disclosure, I knew absolutely nothing about knives, websites or internet. I just knew people made money online and I wanted to do the same. If they could do it, why couldn't I do it?
So I woke up one day, purchased a domain and started to figured it out. I am living proof that if you work hard, never give up and are simply not afraid to take action, anything is possible, anything!
After lots of ups and downs we have continued to be on a constant quest to gain as much knowledge as we can and never stop learning and connecting in this knife world we have immersed ourselves in.
Thank you for being interested reading about our journey. If you would like to come along for the ride, please follow us on social media or reach out to us anytime.
Have a Knife Day!
