BEHIND THE SCENES
Blackside Customs was founded by Hank Greenberg, who has over 32 years of experience in the firearm and knife industry. Throughout his career, Hank has consulted for some of the largest firearm companies, law enforcement agencies, and custom knife makers in the world. He also served as the Custom Shop Manager at Microtech Knives for seven years, working hand-in-hand with Anthony Marfione (Founder of Microtech Knives) as his right-hand man on projects both stateside and international.
Eventually, Hank reached a turning point—after decades of being the “number-two guy,” he wanted to create a company of his own where he could fully express his creative vision. Blackside Customs was born from that drive, with a mission to design and produce innovative tools while forging a true connection with like-minded enthusiasts. Since then, Blackside Customs has earned a reputation for producing world-class knives, precision pens, EDC tools, and more, each piece blending craftsmanship with purpose.
Outside of business, Hank is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Alexander (Soca) Freitas and still enjoys spending time at the range, training with both long guns and handguns. Beyond his professional and personal pursuits, he’s also a dedicated husband and father to three boys—a role that inspires his commitment to excellence, discipline, and integrity in every aspect of life and work.
