Bryan Kohn is an ABS apprentice currently based in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, with a move to Midland on the horizon. He has built a strong following through both his knives and his active YouTube channel, where he shares the process behind his work.
Bryan’s signature pieces include the K-Tip chef knife and the Warrior EDC. Across both kitchen and everyday carry designs, he repeatedly reaches for GripX.
“I love GripX because it is incredibly easy to work with and gives a superior grip once finished. If I had my way I’d put it on every single knife I make.”
His preferred finishing method is straightforward and effective: grind to 220 grit, then give the scales a full sandblast. The process brings out the rubber and produces the aggressive texture that makes GripX stand out in the hand.
Bryan focuses on creating knives that are both beautiful and functional, tools people actually want to use daily and that can last for generations.

Great to highlight another serious maker who trusts GripX on knives built for real use.
