Custom Hand-Forged Knives

I make knives I love, designed with purpose for camp, bushcraft, hunting, culinary or martial arts. Each one is unique, forged by hand at the anvil, controlling every hammer strike to bring out the best in the material — No two knives are ever identical. Each carries its own character, forged, ground and finished with care and patience.


My work combines traditional blacksmithing with modern metallurgy to produce knives that are both functional tools and heirloom pieces. Whether it’s a chef’s knife built for daily use, a hunting knife designed for the field, or a one-of-a-kind collector’s blade, every detail from the geometry of the edge to the curve of the handle — is made with precision and intent.


My knives are made from a variety of high-carbon steels chosen for the size and purpose of the blade. Handles are crafted from select hardwoods, shaped for comfort and balance. Each knife is heat-treated and finished entirely by hand to ensure a durable, razor-sharp edge.


More than simple cutting tools, knives reflect a bond between artisan, user, and craft. They are meant to be used, cared for, and passed down — steel that tells a story with every cut.
