On September 1st, 2023, the Ernest Warther Museum & Gardens is excited to open a new permanent exhibit in the museum. The new exhibit, the Dale E. Warther Tribute Exhibit: Forged Through Generations, features unique and distinguished knives hand-forged by four generations of the Warther Family. Not only does the new exhibit feature the history of Warther knife-making, but it also honors over 40 men and women who served in World War II who carried Ernest Warther-made Commando Knives. Over 100 knives made by four generations of the Warther family are featured in the exhibit, spanning over 107 years from the first knife ever made by Mooney to the last knife made by Dale Warther. This exhibit honors the exquisite artistry in knife-making by the late Dale Warther and honors the legacy that was forged between four generations of Warthers.
