Crusader Forge Knives are custom tools designed and handmade by Maciej Szczerbiak, who has been a custom knife maker since 1996.

​Maciej’s designs are heavily informed by his extensive background in the Special Operations and tactical fields, which dates back to 1989. His professional experience includes:

​Working with numerous high-risk security units in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.

​Serving as a nationally certified Law Enforcement Sniper Instructor, a NASTI-certified SWAT Rappel Master, a Range Master for one of the largest U.S.-based firearms training schools, and an EMT/wilderness medicine instructor.

​Training over 12,500 military, law enforcement, federal, and civilian students in rapid deployment, precision/counter-sniper operations, and force-on-force training.

​Volunteering his services as a Fire Chief for Dammeron Valley Fire and Rescue.

​An international maritime background as a certified Yacht Helmsman, including Trans-Atlantic and Pacific racing.

​This combined background as both an operator and an instructor provides him with a unique practical understanding of the design and deployment needs of tactical edged tools.
