What overbuild means

Where others save material, we add more.

01 / CONSTRUCTION

Mass over mediocrity

Thick slabs, oversized pivots, overbuilt locks. Every PMP carries reserves no everyday task will ever push to the limit — and that's exactly the point.

02 / MATERIALS

Original materials only

We source genuine, original materials and take no shortcuts. No fakes, no tricks — precise workmanship and documented quality.

03 / PRODUCTION

Deliberately small runs

Quality over volume: we produce in small quantities. Every run is limited — many models sell out during the preorder phase.

The models

15 knives. Nothing lightweight.

From compact EDC to full-size overbuild folder: every model carries its designer's signature — and the build strength of PMP.

The brand

A small Swiss brand. One big obsession.

PMP Knives is run from Horw on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland — a premium brand that deliberately stays small. Every model is designed and engineered together with our design partners worldwide, then produced in small batches by our specialist manufacturing partner in China. Quality over volume, honest construction, honest communication — no shortcuts, no hype tricks.

«I always thought bears were cool — that's why these animals appear here very often.»
Patrick Holenstein · Founder, PMP Knives

The bear in the logo says it all: powerful, uncompromising, anything but dainty. Just like the knives.
