POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This weekend was one for the books. 🍂🧡

We made the trip to Sevierville, TN for the Fall Festival at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and somehow came home with our hearts even fuller than when we left… and probably with a few more knives than we planned on. 😂🔪

What started as selling knives and EDC gear on Whatnot has turned into something we never could have expected — a COMMUNITY. ❤️ We got to spend the weekend with friends who have truly become family, meet people we’ve laughed with and talked to countless times through a screen, and finally put real-life hugs and handshakes to so many familiar names and faces.

And yes… we can officially confirm that our internet friends are real people. 😂

We shopped, ate way too much good food, laughed until our sides hurt, talked knives, made memories, and met some absolutely incredible people along the way. 🔪😂🍁

We also learned that putting a bunch of Whatnot people together inside Smoky Mountain Knife Works is probably not the best financial decision any of us have ever made. 🤣💸 Apparently “just looking” has a completely different meaning in the knife community.

It’s crazy to think that an app, a few live streams, and a shared love for this crazy hobby brought so many amazing people into our lives. Edge & Ember may have started as a father-daughter adventure, but somewhere along the way, our circle got a whole lot bigger. 🦖🔥

To everyone we spent time with this weekend, everyone who stopped to say hello, and everyone who supports us week after week — THANK YOU. We are incredibly grateful for this community and the friendships that have come from it.

Some people start as customers.
Some start as usernames on a screen.
Some start as the person who keeps bidding against you when you REALLY want that knife. 😂

Then one day you look around the dinner table and realize… they became family. ❤️

And honestly, that might be the best thing we’ve gotten from Whatnot… although the knife collection is getting pretty impressive too. 😂🔪

Until next time, Tennessee. 🍂🏔️🔪

This knife was just cutting into concrete bags. You’d never guess, but after a lil’ @wickedind treatment, it’s good as new. I absolutely swear by wicked clean, wicked wax, and wicked pivot. Thanks Fred.

🔥 Same Trusted Performance. A Bold New Look. 🇺🇸

Meet the new face of Wicked Industries!

Our Wicked Wax, Wicked Clean, and Wicked Pivot lineup just got a complete branding refresh with bold new labels that reflect who we are—American made, hardworking, and built for people who demand the best from their gear.

While the look has changed, one thing hasn’t:

✅ The same proven formulas
✅ The same premium ingredients
✅ The same performance trusted by knife makers, axe makers, craftsmen, outdoorsmen, and EDC enthusiasts across the country.

Whether you’re protecting a prized knife, cleaning years of grime, or keeping your pivots running buttery smooth, Wicked Industries has you covered.

New labels. New image. Same great products.

🇺🇸 Proudly made in Kentucky.
🛠️ Built for makers. Trusted by users.
⚔️ Clean. Protect. Perform.

Gone! 🤙🏽 More coming soon!

What do we think about the orange kydex and leather combo?

Finished 100% and razor sharp. This 3” 80CRV2 beauty is ready for a new home! The @shadetreecc orange and black composite handle looks great and has a grippy texture for field use.

Here's a couple of the most recent custom knife scales requested. Red & Black Metallic Camo, and a Deep Purple Cat's Eyes inspired. I love taking really awesome knives and adding something personal to them. Life is too short to have plain handles. Make them your own with Customs!

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate 250 years of American independence and honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of the men and women who have defended our nation’s freedom.

At Wicked Industries, we are proud to support those who have served and continue to serve our country. To our active-duty military, veterans, retired service members, disabled veterans, and the families who stand beside them—thank you. Your dedication and sacrifice make the freedoms we enjoy possible.

As an American small business, we believe in hard work, craftsmanship, and giving back to those who have given so much for our nation. Every day, we’re grateful for the opportunity to create products right here in the USA while honoring the values that make this country strong.

This Independence Day, please take a moment to remember those who have worn the uniform and those who never made it home. Their legacy lives on through the freedoms we cherish.

From our family at Wicked Industries, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your commitment to our great nation.
