ABOUT US

SPECIALIST IN PERSONALLY DESIGNED AND HAND CRAFTED KNIVES

I have been interested in knives for as long as I can remember, and when I saw members of what was probably the begining of the Knifemaker’s Guild displaying handmade knives in 1981/82 I decided that I too would like to make something as stunning as what I saw there. When I was given the opportunity to learn how to make them, I jumped at the chance.

he completion of a hand-crafted knife is a lengthy but highly rewarding exercise. Because of this, only the best available materials are used, and I endeavour to ensure that each knife made is superior to the one before.

For the blades, I generally use imported steel recognized by knife makers as excellent quality cutlery steel.

I personally harden and temper all my knives to between 58 and 60 on the Rockwell C scale. I also personally test the blades for hardness and provide a certificate of hardness with your knife.

Special orders, using Damascus, will be made on request, however because the manufacture of Damascus is highly labour and time intensive, it is relatively expensive. The beauty of the finished product, however, makes the cost worthwhile.
