TJ Rucker carries forward a legacy built on grit, service, and craft. After nearly 20 years of making knives in his garage, he stepped in to lead the next chapter of the family name.

A veteran and former expat in the logistics world, TJ built his career on execution and accountability. He’s an avid fisherman, hunter, and outdoorsman, more at home around a campfire than in a boardroom. Today, he leads Rucker Knives with a focus on function, honest materials, and tools meant to be used and passed down.
