In this time of a disposable economy, there is something magical about creating something with your own hands, that is aesthetically pleasing, will perform to a high level, and will last for generations.

 

There is something special that takes place when someone picks up a knife for the first time.  They are taken on a journey to days of early humans, who held a piece of sharpened bone or rock, which gave them an advantage in the wild.

 The knife is a tool that has found its way into every day life across the world, from a simple utility knife in a tool box or craft basket, a finely honed chef’s knife in kitchens around the world, to the scalpel of a surgeon, and everywhere in between.  It can be easily argued that the knife, is the single most useful and versatile tool that has ever been created.

 Ever since I received my first knife as a child, a passion for the blade has been burning inside of me.  It is this excitement that lead me down the path of the bladesmith and knife maker, giving me the desire to put steel in fire and to forge my first blade.

 Today, after countless mistakes and numerous successes, I have honed my skills to the point of being able to create stunning knives, that are both beautiful and highly functional, all while still getting the odd cut and burn.

Every knife that is marked with my name, is made by me, from start to finish in my shop.

 My knives have made their way across Canada, in the hands of Chefs, hunters, fishermen, campers, collectors and individuals, just like you.
