My process

Unlike most shop-bought knives which are produced by machines that stamp out blade shapes from large sheets of steel like a cookie cutter, my knives are hand-forged as close to their final form as possible.

 

Made in house, entirely by me: everything from sourcing the materials to forging the blades to making the handles to sharpening the finished knives. I make blades using carbon steels known for holding a wonderful edge, and fit them with handles I make from local timbers, often trees felled in London.
