About Me

My name is Jim Vandeveld, and I am a husband and father of five based out of Erie, Pennsylvania.

For the past twelve years, I have been a full-time CNC hard mill machinist and injection mold maker.

I have spent countless hours learning to develop and implement: processes, maintain strict standards, and build parts that are both reliable and replicable.

That's how Hellion Machine Collective MFG came to life.

All of these qualities are reflected in the process I use to design and build my knives.

I look forward to working with you.

FAQ

How do I order a custom knife?

At this time, I am currently not taking any custom orders.  My focus is to scale the availability of my knives to a point where weekly drops are made to my email list.  If you are interested in a knife, signing up here is currently the best way to purchase one.

How do I get one of your knives from instagram?

I'm shifting from selling knives on Instagram to notifying my email list about their availability and processing sales through my website. Social media platforms currently restrict knife-related content more and more each week, so I'm moving away from relying on them for sales.

Do I need a knife spa?

Yes, if your knife has lost its edge, is showing significant surface wear and tear, or is experiencing performance issues unrelated to a manufacturer's defect, it's time to send it in for a spa. 

Why are your knives so expensive?

My pricing is based on the high-quality materials and craftsmanship that go into making each knife. I use premium American-made stainless steel and titanium hardware, all contributing to an all-titanium construction. Quality is my top priority throughout the manufacturing process, even with the use of CNC machines. I employ 3D machining for most components to ensure an ergonomic and high-performance design. From sourcing materials to the final sharpening, I pay meticulous attention to every detail in creating my knives
