Heritage & History
Aerocrafted began when its team, working in aerospace engineering, couldn't find a utility knife that met their own requirements — something lightweight and minimal, with a blade that could be swapped without tools. What started as an internal project grew as friends, then customers, asked for their own, and the team began developing a full line of everyday carry gear alongside its aerospace engineering work.
The company operates out of several hangars at the San Luis Obispo airport, described on its site as 'filled with CNC machines, airplanes, and the constant hum of fabrication,' with dedicated areas for both aerospace prototyping and EDC product manufacturing.
Made in San Luis Obispo, California
Aerocrafted designs, manufactures, and assembles its EDC tools in-house at its San Luis Obispo, California facility, using aerospace-grade materials such as Grade 5 titanium and 7075 aluminum. The company's site states its tools are 'made in the united states of america.'
The company is run by a small team of aerospace engineers and makers who apply techniques from their aerospace prototyping work to their everyday carry tool line, keeping design and production together in the same hangar space.
