In 2018 I discovered the art of blacksmithing and handmade knifemaking. I began tooling up, starting with basic tools and basic projects.

As I developed my skills, I also upgraded my tools. Better tools, meant faster development of my skills. Each knife I made would be just a little better than the previous. I have now a nicely equipped workshop with tools that I can utilise to produce my handmade items. Items ranging from high end chef knives to simple hand-forged wall hooks and anything in between.

I try to use recycled materials as much as possible, in a effort to reduce waste put into our environment. However all my knives are made from new high quality known steels, such as 1084 or 52100. My handle materials are made from locally sourced timbers and I am currently looking into using recycled plastics as well.
