My name is Sean McInally and I am an Idaho native and the founder of Hubris Workshop Hubris Workshop is a small owner-operated knife company, proudly established in Boise, Idaho USA. I use classic, tried-and-true methods and materials to create reliable utilitarian knives balanced with unique elegance. My knives accompany hunters, hikers, anglers, and campers into the backcountry but can also be comfortably carried around town.

My Story

In 2019 I set out to create my first, hand-made, knife with little more than a bastard file, an angle grinder, and a rough charcoal forge. I was able to take a hunk of steel and some exotic wood blocks and turn them into a usable tool. While far from perfect, some might even say ugly, that first knife introduced me to a world of potential. Creating a functional and attractive tool is a rewarding creative outlet of many disciplines. Metallurgy, sculpting, woodworking, resin molding, epoxy finishes, electro, and acid etching. Design, study, creativity, and patience. When it all comes together you have a functional piece of art to carry and use with pride. My craft has come a long way since that first knife and is still ever-evolving. That is the pursuit.

Mission

Having grown up in rural Idaho, I have a strong connection to the wilderness. I design knives with outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen in mind. My mission is to bring to market utilitarian knives that inspire pride of ownership while targeting an accessible price point that doesn’t make you afraid to use the thing.
