Exciting news! Blackland has acquired our production partner Kinetic CNC. This deal enables Blackland to now produce all of our products in-house, giving us greater control over production and ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality razors in the world.

With this acquisition, we are getting more than just some machines. More importantly, we’re gaining the skills and experience of Kinetic’s founder, Tyler Jarrett, who joins the Blackland team as a partner and our Head of Manufacturing. With Tyer’s formal engineering background and deep knowledge of complex machining, he’s an incredible asset who will allow us to produce our current product range at the highest quality and push forward with increasingly innovative designs and concepts.

This acquisition also strengthens our commitment to American manufacturing and ensures that we’ll continue to produce world class products right here in San Diego with employees that are treated with respect and compensated fairly. Since we began in 2015, we’ve remained steadfast in our belief that a company can be successful while keeping production local and we’re proud to be building on that legacy.

For our customers, this move means we’ll be able to produce our current lineup at an even higher level of quality. We’ll also be able to move quickly to introduce new designs, materials, and finishes. You can expect limited edition models, concepts more innovative than ever, and even non-razor products. Bringing production under the Blackland roof opens up a world of possibilities and we can’t wait to get to work.

Congrats, Shane. Makes a lot of sense, although managing a machine shop will no doubt bring some new challenges which I’m sure you relish. Gotta be good to have everything under your control. Looking back it’s quite an achievement that you have built such a thriving business in this niche hobby, when most of your competitors are small-volume sole traders.

Thank you! It's true that owning a machine shop is a whole new beast to me. But thankfully we have a good partner in Tyler who I trust a great deal. I wouldn't have done this without someone competent who has already shown their skill and trustworthiness. There is nothing better than having full control over your business and I'm excited for all the new potential that this unlocks for us.

We've managed to build a pretty good business! It helps that Blackland is probably the oldest currently operational brand in this space. So we've had a lot of time to grow sustainably and put ourselves in a strong position.

The company VentorTech helps us with this. They offer tailored solutions to help businesses optimize their operations through the Odoo ERP system, providing expertise in areas such as inventory management, sales, accounting, and custom app development.
I also own my own business and understand how important it is to have a reliable partner on the team.
